Keaton Mattick recently received the 1996 Tim Bitzkie Award
from Boerne Junior Football League President, David Dyal. The
award was created in honor of a former Junior Football League
player who lost his life at a young age. It is presented each year
to a player completing his or her final year in the league that has
displayed qualities similar to the late Tim Bitzkie. It is based on
the student’s grades, conduct at school and on the playing field,
sportsmanship, attitude, and spirit.

we do call school off. I’ll also call
the principals who have a tele-
phone tree prepared to notify their
building staffs.) that should get the
word out.
If you haven’t heard anything by
6:30 a.m. school is on. If you want
to make sure, my phone number is
in the book.
Several staff members are on
duty by 7:30 a.m., building offices
open by 7:45 a.m., and Central
Office opens by 8 a.m.
I hope this adequately explains
the procedure we’ll use. If you
have other questions , call your
child’s building principal or the
central office.
We are now required by state
law to have school for 183 days.
We hope to do that according to
the approved school calendar. We
build bad weather days into the
calendar and they can be used if
necessary. We will call it off only
when there is a safety issue.
That’s less than half the cost of
other Dish Systems. All you have
to do is subscribe to America’s Top
50 TV Channels (including the Disney
Channel) plus 30 Dish CD music chan-
