Carroll Trustees Honored, Students Demo Character Qualities

Carroll School Board members were honored Monday as part of a state-wide campaign to recognize School Board members during the month of January.

The Board watched a brief video that highlighted several CISD students sharing their perspective of what a School Board member's job entails. In addition, the evening's activities included performances by elementary and intermediate-level students. Each campus chose a Trustee to honor and tied the recognition in with a demonstration of a character quality they've learned from curriculum funded by Mark Guilbert, franchise owner of the Southlake Chick-fil-A. Mr. Guilbert generously provided the funds necessary to implement a district character education program for CISD's K-6 students. The program, entitled Core Essentials, provides lesson plans for counselors to utilize as part of their comprehensive, developmental guidance program. In addition, Mr. Guilbert is also providing incentives, such as coupons, for counselors to use when they see a student demonstrating a character quality that Core Essentials teaches. District officials presented a certificate of appreciation to Mr. Guilbert Monday evening.

***************************************************************

The Lady Dragons competed against the Hockaday Daisies January 19 at the St. Mark's Natatorium in Dallas.

No current meet results were available for Hockaday this season, so "scouting" to plan a good line-up was a challenge. The Carroll girls began the meet behind 13-0 as the Lady Dragon divers were back home practicing to prepare for their District Diving Championships held January 20. In the first event, the girls split the best swimmers between two medley relays and Hockaday snuck past the Lady Dragons, winning 1:54.6 to 1:55.0. After that, the girls traded wins and points over the next six events. The Lady Dragons entered the last four events down 60-65.

However, the Lady Dragons outscored the Daisies 37-21 over the last four events, - including 22-6 in the last two relays to win 97-86. The last two relays (200 free and 400 free) set new pool records at the St. Marks' Pool!

Below is a list of individual winners:
Caitlin Baran in 200 free at 1:57.44
Rachael Ausdenmoore in 100 free at 56.65
Kerry Wright in 500 free at 5:24.16

Relay wins for the Dragons were turned in by the following athletes:
Lisa Ginder, Rachel Ausdenmoore, Chelsea Dunlap and Katie Hitchcock in 200 free relay 1:43.59 (new pool record)
Lisa Ginder, Caitlin Baran, Paige Higgins and Claire Singley in 400 free relay in 3:43.39 (new pool record)

Black History Cultural Enrichment Committee To Display Exhibits, Book Drive

The Black History Cultural Enrichment Committee (BHCEC) is leading an effort to display exhibits at several locations in the area. Exhibits will be displayed at area schools and city libraries, as well as Southlake's Bob Jones Nature Center. The exhibits, as well as their annual book drive, will be available to the general public during the month of February.

This year’s collaborators include youth from DFW Mid-Cities Jack and Jill of America, Inc. and the Bob Jones Nature Center. Jack and Jill, Inc. is a service organization dedicated to exposing African American children to constructive civic, social, educational and cultural programs. The Bob Jones Nature Center was named after Mr. John Dolford "Bob" Jones, a former slave and one of the first African American family land and business owners in the area with roots in Roanoke, Grapevine and Southlake. Mr. Jones is best known for education, as he started a local school for African American children when access to equal education was denied. He was honored by the City of Southlake by naming public land after him, hence "Bob Jones Park." Beginning the first week in February, please visit the Southlake library to see the various articles, books, photos and other items showcasing local youth and highlighting other aspects of the Jones family's notable past.

In addition, the BHCEC is hosting an annual book drive along with the Southlake Public Library. This drive benefits local libraries and schools. Throughout February, the BHCEC asks that community members visit the Southlake Library and donate a new book by an African American author. For additional details, please contact Ingrid Ford at (817) 424-3184 or Yvonne Gilliam (817) 424-2679.
