WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.589 --> 00:00:03.172 (upbeat music) 2 00:00:06.070 --> 00:00:08.640 line:15% So thank you for joining us once again, 3 00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:13.220 line:15% I am happy to have with me right now a very important person 4 00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:17.040 for a program that is one of our newly developed programs. 5 00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:21.100 Yes, we are in year five, however, it is still one 6 00:00:21.100 --> 00:00:23.100 of the programs that are in its infancy. 7 00:00:24.179 --> 00:00:26.380 So I would like for our audience to meet, 8 00:00:26.380 --> 00:00:28.340 our Dean of College Academy. 9 00:00:28.340 --> 00:00:29.880 So if you would introduce yourself 10 00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:32.190 and then we'll talk a little bit about the program. 11 00:00:32.190 --> 00:00:35.130 Okay, my name is Tyrone Jones and I'm the new Dean 12 00:00:35.130 --> 00:00:36.590 of the College Academy, very glad to be here. 13 00:00:36.590 --> 00:00:38.100 Thank you for the invitation. 14 00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:40.750 Thank you ,if you would, since you're new 15 00:00:40.750 --> 00:00:43.240 to our viewing audience, just give us a little bit 16 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.910 of background of your educational journey thus far. 17 00:00:47.910 --> 00:00:50.470 Okay, well, as you said, I am new to the College Academy. 18 00:00:50.470 --> 00:00:52.800 line:15% I'm also new to the Huntsville City Schools. 19 00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:55.300 line:15% I am not however new to education, 20 00:00:55.300 --> 00:00:57.750 line:15% I'm a 23 year veteran of education, 21 00:00:57.750 --> 00:00:59.260 and much of that time was spent 22 00:00:59.260 --> 00:01:00.590 in the Tuscaloosa City Schools 23 00:01:00.590 --> 00:01:03.270 as an English teacher, middle school and high school, 24 00:01:03.270 --> 00:01:05.470 but also as an assistant principal 25 00:01:05.470 --> 00:01:07.300 and a principal, a building principal. 26 00:01:07.300 --> 00:01:09.240 In the midst of all of that time, that 23 years, 27 00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:12.890 I did spend a little time as a, an English professor 28 00:01:12.890 --> 00:01:16.270 at Shelton State Community College and an English professor 29 00:01:16.270 --> 00:01:20.110 at Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia as well. 30 00:01:20.110 --> 00:01:22.950 So as the audience knows, and they've seen me do plenty 31 00:01:22.950 --> 00:01:26.270 of college Academy videos, that is one of the things 32 00:01:26.270 --> 00:01:30.670 that we always try to have is an individual on the ground 33 00:01:30.670 --> 00:01:33.570 at college Academy, who has that college experience, 34 00:01:33.570 --> 00:01:35.360 who has that leadership experience, 35 00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:37.050 because that's very important. 36 00:01:37.050 --> 00:01:39.660 This program is not only something that's held 37 00:01:39.660 --> 00:01:42.730 in our high school but as we know, we have that relationship 38 00:01:42.730 --> 00:01:45.650 with our college university of Alabama in Huntsville. 39 00:01:45.650 --> 00:01:46.580 So it's very important 40 00:01:46.580 --> 00:01:48.900 that we all understand both processes 41 00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:52.120 which makes this program a little bit harder 42 00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.690 for students and us, as we learn 43 00:01:54.690 --> 00:01:58.240 how to bridge the connection between those two institutions. 44 00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:00.420 So talk a little bit about College Academy, 45 00:02:00.420 --> 00:02:03.780 what it offers, so far I know you're new to this, 46 00:02:03.780 --> 00:02:06.620 but describe the experience that you've noticed 47 00:02:06.620 --> 00:02:10.240 that students are having even in these different times. 48 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.300 Well, the College Academy is a great program. 49 00:02:13.300 --> 00:02:14.540 As you said, it bridges, 50 00:02:14.540 --> 00:02:17.570 It helps students bridge two worlds, they're fully 51 00:02:17.570 --> 00:02:19.650 and completely high school students. 52 00:02:19.650 --> 00:02:21.620 They engage in high school activities, 53 00:02:21.620 --> 00:02:23.290 they take high school classes, 54 00:02:23.290 --> 00:02:25.620 completely high school students, but at the same time 55 00:02:25.620 --> 00:02:27.350 this program gives them an opportunity 56 00:02:27.350 --> 00:02:29.330 to be complete college students as well. 57 00:02:29.330 --> 00:02:31.110 And they participate in all the things 58 00:02:31.110 --> 00:02:32.500 that college students participate in. 59 00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:35.420 They go to college classes, they go to the college campus, 60 00:02:35.420 --> 00:02:38.530 they are taught by college professors and have access 61 00:02:38.530 --> 00:02:39.780 to all of the college resources. 62 00:02:39.780 --> 00:02:42.440 So in that way, it is a very unique program 63 00:02:42.440 --> 00:02:46.100 where our students are able to have the opportunity 64 00:02:46.100 --> 00:02:49.000 to earn up to 60 hours of college credit, 65 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.370 which is a tremendous value to our students 66 00:02:51.370 --> 00:02:53.200 and their families, and it gives them 67 00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:54.890 just a great opportunity to kind of have 68 00:02:54.890 --> 00:02:58.340 a leapfrog opportunity in their own educations and careers. 69 00:02:58.340 --> 00:03:01.100 So you brought up the next question that I was gonna ask 70 00:03:01.100 --> 00:03:03.230 because a lot of times when we're doing all 71 00:03:03.230 --> 00:03:07.040 of this Magnet recruiting or talking 72 00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:09.890 to our community members, we always get the question 73 00:03:09.890 --> 00:03:12.010 of what makes our high school programs 74 00:03:12.010 --> 00:03:13.470 in particular different 75 00:03:13.470 --> 00:03:16.930 because all of you all offer opportunities 76 00:03:16.930 --> 00:03:18.810 for our students to be college ready 77 00:03:18.810 --> 00:03:20.120 as well as career ready. 78 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.270 We even talk about that with our programs down 79 00:03:22.270 --> 00:03:24.280 in the middle school and elementary level. 80 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.990 So what stands out and you started talking about it 81 00:03:27.990 --> 00:03:31.470 in particular, for particular, when they are thinking 82 00:03:31.470 --> 00:03:34.880 about applying, what makes College Academy different 83 00:03:34.880 --> 00:03:36.740 from even the other Magnet programs? 84 00:03:36.740 --> 00:03:39.250 Right, I would challenge parents and families 85 00:03:39.250 --> 00:03:40.620 and students as well to really think 86 00:03:40.620 --> 00:03:44.060 about the end of our program and how it compares 87 00:03:44.060 --> 00:03:46.760 to other programs that the end point 88 00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:50.430 in late May or early June when our students graduate 89 00:03:50.430 --> 00:03:52.610 at the college Academy, when our students graduate, 90 00:03:52.610 --> 00:03:54.700 when they walk across that stage and get 91 00:03:54.700 --> 00:03:57.870 their high school diplomas they also walk across that stage 92 00:03:57.870 --> 00:03:59.990 and they have a college transcript 93 00:03:59.990 --> 00:04:02.410 that can have up to 60 hours of college credit. 94 00:04:02.410 --> 00:04:05.760 And that means a lot in terms of three particular things. 95 00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:08.700 The first is money ,at UAH and our students go 96 00:04:08.700 --> 00:04:10.760 to UAH for their college classes. 97 00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:14.600 The current tuition fees, books the current annual cost 98 00:04:14.600 --> 00:04:18.600 is about $28,000 a year, 60 hours of college credit 99 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.610 which our students can, earn equals about two years 100 00:04:21.610 --> 00:04:25.104 of full time college, being a college student. 101 00:04:25.104 --> 00:04:27.420 So that's a total of about $56,000, 102 00:04:27.420 --> 00:04:32.420 just about $56,000 of value, objective monetary value 103 00:04:33.020 --> 00:04:33.853 that our program has, 104 00:04:33.853 --> 00:04:35.976 and when our students walk across the stage 105 00:04:35.976 --> 00:04:38.090 they have earned that amount of value. 106 00:04:38.090 --> 00:04:39.070 That's the value they've gotten 107 00:04:39.070 --> 00:04:40.920 out of their four years of high school. 108 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:45.520 The second is a time, and really it's really hard 109 00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:47.410 to place an objective value on time, 110 00:04:47.410 --> 00:04:48.360 but they're able to achieve 111 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.983 in their high school careers two years of time, 112 00:04:50.983 --> 00:04:53.150 they're able to get two years ahead. 113 00:04:53.150 --> 00:04:55.853 And what that means for them is that when they, 114 00:04:56.880 --> 00:04:58.400 if they have a scholarship for instance, 115 00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:01.380 a four year scholarship, that means when they go to college, 116 00:05:01.380 --> 00:05:04.120 they have two years of that scholarship remaining 117 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:05.670 when they're done with their two years of study. 118 00:05:05.670 --> 00:05:07.320 So they can complete a bachelor's degree 119 00:05:07.320 --> 00:05:10.160 and still have two years of college scholarship left. 120 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.010 And that, that time equals two years of grad school. 121 00:05:13.010 --> 00:05:15.770 That could be two years earlier into the workforce 122 00:05:15.770 --> 00:05:18.360 is just a tremendous opportunity. 123 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.550 And third, that one of the big points is, and I can say this 124 00:05:21.550 --> 00:05:23.640 both as a high school teacher, 125 00:05:23.640 --> 00:05:25.960 I can say it as a college professor, 126 00:05:25.960 --> 00:05:27.960 I can say it as a parent of a college student 127 00:05:27.960 --> 00:05:31.150 that one of the biggest challenges for college students, 128 00:05:31.150 --> 00:05:34.630 high school students entering college is that transition. 129 00:05:34.630 --> 00:05:37.790 Usually students finish high school in May, June. 130 00:05:37.790 --> 00:05:39.100 They show up to college in their first day 131 00:05:39.100 --> 00:05:42.270 of class in August, and they are kind of thrown 132 00:05:42.270 --> 00:05:46.380 into the mix there and have to make a transition 133 00:05:46.380 --> 00:05:47.470 in a very short amount of time. 134 00:05:47.470 --> 00:05:48.880 They have to get used to the campus, 135 00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:50.680 they have to get used to the professors, 136 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.220 they have to grow accustomed to the college culture 137 00:05:53.220 --> 00:05:55.110 which is different than the high school culture. 138 00:05:55.110 --> 00:05:58.540 What we're able to do is take that really abrupt transition 139 00:05:58.540 --> 00:06:00.290 that traditional college students have to go through. 140 00:06:00.290 --> 00:06:02.300 And we're able to stretch out that transition 141 00:06:02.300 --> 00:06:04.220 for four years of their college life. 142 00:06:04.220 --> 00:06:06.130 So beginning in ninth grade, 143 00:06:06.130 --> 00:06:07.810 they get exposed to college professors, 144 00:06:07.810 --> 00:06:10.060 they get exposed to the expectations of college professors 145 00:06:10.060 --> 00:06:12.470 and going to visit office hours and making email 146 00:06:12.470 --> 00:06:16.140 and sending emails and keeping up with their studies. 147 00:06:16.140 --> 00:06:19.060 They get exposed to the college campus, beginning 148 00:06:19.060 --> 00:06:21.650 in the 11th grade, where they go directly to the campus. 149 00:06:21.650 --> 00:06:22.950 They can take classes right 150 00:06:22.950 --> 00:06:24.700 alongside traditional college students. 151 00:06:24.700 --> 00:06:28.090 And they are made they are able to avail themselves 152 00:06:28.090 --> 00:06:31.300 of all of the resources on the college campus as well. 153 00:06:31.300 --> 00:06:34.260 The writing center, the study center, all of those things. 154 00:06:34.260 --> 00:06:36.570 And so for those three reasons in particular, 155 00:06:36.570 --> 00:06:38.730 I think our program is kind of set apart 156 00:06:38.730 --> 00:06:43.730 from traditional just in house, high school Magnet programs. 157 00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:46.937 Definitely, and one thing that I always said 158 00:06:46.937 --> 00:06:51.150 it has amazed me, how well our students 159 00:06:51.150 --> 00:06:53.650 even their high school years have adapted. 160 00:06:53.650 --> 00:06:56.970 I know the first year that I started working 161 00:06:56.970 --> 00:06:59.480 through magnet programs, I wanted to go the first day 162 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.020 to UAH with, well, when the juniors first started last year 163 00:07:03.020 --> 00:07:05.030 or two years ago at this point, 164 00:07:05.030 --> 00:07:07.140 and after the first couple... 165 00:07:07.140 --> 00:07:09.393 We don't need you miss Edgecombe, we have it. 166 00:07:09.393 --> 00:07:11.390 (chuckles) You know, I was so nervous being 167 00:07:11.390 --> 00:07:14.090 that mother hen that they were gonna have a hard time 168 00:07:14.090 --> 00:07:16.170 but they have easily adapted to it. 169 00:07:16.170 --> 00:07:19.010 So we've talked a lot about the college experience 170 00:07:19.010 --> 00:07:20.823 but one of the things that I think, 171 00:07:21.970 --> 00:07:23.840 our community needs to hear is 172 00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:27.330 how much our students are doing the college 173 00:07:27.330 --> 00:07:29.620 but they're still very much actively involved 174 00:07:29.620 --> 00:07:31.110 in their high school years 175 00:07:31.110 --> 00:07:33.230 because I know I can say that was probably one 176 00:07:33.230 --> 00:07:36.210 of the best year, best years of my life. 177 00:07:36.210 --> 00:07:39.200 And so how are they immersed 178 00:07:39.200 --> 00:07:41.890 with the high school on the Jemison level 179 00:07:41.890 --> 00:07:46.010 and what experiences are they able to have during that time? 180 00:07:46.010 --> 00:07:48.240 Well, our students are complete high school students. 181 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:49.550 They are completely in the high school world 182 00:07:49.550 --> 00:07:50.780 and they're able to take advantage 183 00:07:50.780 --> 00:07:52.600 of all the aspects of high school culture 184 00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:54.260 our high school culture at Jemison High School. 185 00:07:54.260 --> 00:07:56.080 We have College Academy students in the band. 186 00:07:56.080 --> 00:07:58.560 We have them in ROTC, we have them in sports. 187 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.470 They're playing softball, they're playing baseball 188 00:08:00.470 --> 00:08:02.490 they're playing basketball, they're playing volleyball, 189 00:08:02.490 --> 00:08:04.603 tennis, all those things, cross country. 190 00:08:05.840 --> 00:08:09.620 They're running for SGA, they're on the homecoming court. 191 00:08:09.620 --> 00:08:12.340 They're complete 100% high school students 192 00:08:12.340 --> 00:08:13.173 at the same time that 193 00:08:13.173 --> 00:08:15.620 they're complete college students as well. 194 00:08:15.620 --> 00:08:17.440 And I know that you and the rest 195 00:08:17.440 --> 00:08:19.649 of the Jemison administration is committed 196 00:08:19.649 --> 00:08:22.860 to, I mean, some folks may listen to this and say, wow 197 00:08:22.860 --> 00:08:25.820 that's a scheduling nightmare, but you guys are committed 198 00:08:25.820 --> 00:08:27.840 to making sure that they still have the best 199 00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:29.660 of both worlds as we like to say. 200 00:08:29.660 --> 00:08:33.217 Right, and they're supported by both campuses as well. 201 00:08:33.217 --> 00:08:34.050 That's right. 202 00:08:34.050 --> 00:08:34.883 They have access to everyone that... 203 00:08:34.883 --> 00:08:37.410 We have our own counselor in the College Academy Program 204 00:08:37.410 --> 00:08:38.890 but we also have counselors that 205 00:08:38.890 --> 00:08:41.100 are part strictly of Jemison high school 206 00:08:41.100 --> 00:08:43.000 and our students can take advantage of that as well. 207 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:44.770 They are taught by Jemison teachers, 208 00:08:44.770 --> 00:08:46.530 many of them in AP classes. 209 00:08:46.530 --> 00:08:48.096 And when they're in those classes, 210 00:08:48.096 --> 00:08:50.810 they're high school students and they'll have access 211 00:08:50.810 --> 00:08:53.840 to all of the resources of Jemison high school. 212 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:57.440 So lastly, let's about the student. 213 00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:01.560 What student should apply for this program? 214 00:09:01.560 --> 00:09:04.890 And one exciting thing that I wanna share with everyone is 215 00:09:04.890 --> 00:09:08.320 in the past, we've only we started this process 216 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.860 in the student's seventh grade year 217 00:09:10.860 --> 00:09:13.223 so that we could have that bridging opportunity 218 00:09:13.223 --> 00:09:15.860 within the eighth grade year, we're monitoring , 219 00:09:15.860 --> 00:09:18.220 we're supporting, we're preparing them, 220 00:09:18.220 --> 00:09:20.890 but this year we're gonna try something a little different, 221 00:09:20.890 --> 00:09:22.710 once we open up the application 222 00:09:22.710 --> 00:09:24.370 which is normally second semester 223 00:09:24.370 --> 00:09:28.270 for College Academy, we gonna open up additional grades 224 00:09:28.270 --> 00:09:31.290 so that some of the students can join in their ninth, 225 00:09:31.290 --> 00:09:33.540 their 10th or 11th grade year. 226 00:09:33.540 --> 00:09:37.010 But what type of student from your experience 227 00:09:38.170 --> 00:09:42.490 is this program for, and who would most benefit for it? 228 00:09:42.490 --> 00:09:44.300 We're looking for ambitious students 229 00:09:44.300 --> 00:09:46.530 from across the district, exceptional students, 230 00:09:46.530 --> 00:09:50.350 students who are really place ... 231 00:09:50.350 --> 00:09:51.837 Even though they're high school students 232 00:09:51.837 --> 00:09:55.310 and they should look for the total high school experience 233 00:09:55.310 --> 00:09:56.600 but who really placed academics 234 00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.500 at the very, very top of their priority list. 235 00:09:58.500 --> 00:10:00.270 It is a rigorous program, 236 00:10:00.270 --> 00:10:01.830 it's by design, it's a rigorous program. 237 00:10:01.830 --> 00:10:05.920 They take for their high school courses, many AP courses 238 00:10:05.920 --> 00:10:07.410 and for their college courses, they are taught 239 00:10:07.410 --> 00:10:10.090 by college professors with college expectations. 240 00:10:10.090 --> 00:10:11.415 And so we're looking for students 241 00:10:11.415 --> 00:10:13.860 who are good at time management 242 00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:17.620 who are good at with leadership skills. 243 00:10:17.620 --> 00:10:20.380 Students who have discipline 244 00:10:20.380 --> 00:10:22.060 because it takes all of those things 245 00:10:22.060 --> 00:10:24.530 in combination with the support that we offer 246 00:10:24.530 --> 00:10:26.420 for our students to be successful. 247 00:10:26.420 --> 00:10:29.290 Definitely, so with that said, we know 248 00:10:29.290 --> 00:10:33.280 we're just giving a snapshot in this information 249 00:10:33.280 --> 00:10:34.160 for the stakeholders. 250 00:10:34.160 --> 00:10:35.860 They'll get way more information, 251 00:10:35.860 --> 00:10:39.420 once we have our virtual magnet fair on October 31st. 252 00:10:39.420 --> 00:10:40.710 But if there's anything else that 253 00:10:40.710 --> 00:10:44.270 you would like to encourage our community, I know 254 00:10:44.270 --> 00:10:48.400 that we always like for industry partners to come in 255 00:10:48.400 --> 00:10:52.140 and work with the us, help us prepare our students 256 00:10:52.140 --> 00:10:54.840 for the workforce and even for college. 257 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:56.720 But if there's anything else that you would like to share 258 00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.877 with the community about the program. 259 00:10:58.877 --> 00:11:01.450 I would like to share this idea 260 00:11:01.450 --> 00:11:04.530 to make this opportunity not just available 261 00:11:04.530 --> 00:11:06.970 but get the information out and get the word out 262 00:11:06.970 --> 00:11:09.653 to students and families of all ages. 263 00:11:11.180 --> 00:11:15.100 We want students to start thinking about the college Academy 264 00:11:15.100 --> 00:11:17.010 in their entry, into the Huntsville City Schools. 265 00:11:17.010 --> 00:11:18.600 We want parents to start thinking 266 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:19.880 about the College Academy when 267 00:11:19.880 --> 00:11:21.470 they send their baby to kindergarten. 268 00:11:21.470 --> 00:11:24.070 That's the time to begin those preparations, 269 00:11:24.070 --> 00:11:25.690 that's the time to begin that expectation 270 00:11:25.690 --> 00:11:28.130 in your child, that you know, 271 00:11:28.130 --> 00:11:30.380 what I see for you is, what I see for you is college. 272 00:11:30.380 --> 00:11:32.150 What I see for you is a four year degree 273 00:11:32.150 --> 00:11:34.560 and the College Academy will be a great step 274 00:11:34.560 --> 00:11:37.170 in getting you this leapfrog opportunity 275 00:11:37.170 --> 00:11:38.120 for that four year degree. 276 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:43.120 And again, I really want to emphasize the great opportunity 277 00:11:43.260 --> 00:11:46.230 in the College Academy not only for our students, 278 00:11:46.230 --> 00:11:48.070 but this is a family opportunity. 279 00:11:48.070 --> 00:11:51.580 Again I have two children in college right now, 280 00:11:51.580 --> 00:11:54.510 and to be able to get two years of... 281 00:11:54.510 --> 00:11:56.340 It is essentially a two year scholarship. 282 00:11:56.340 --> 00:11:58.240 Acceptance into the College Academy is essentially 283 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.920 a two year scholarship at a four year university. 284 00:12:00.920 --> 00:12:02.130 That's a great opportunity for students, 285 00:12:02.130 --> 00:12:04.210 but it's a great opportunity for families 286 00:12:04.210 --> 00:12:07.490 both in terms of finances and in terms of their time. 287 00:12:07.490 --> 00:12:09.590 So as I've shared, we are excited 288 00:12:09.590 --> 00:12:11.480 that you are a part of the team. 289 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:14.000 You know, I always think of Magnet as one big family, 290 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:15.630 we support one another. 291 00:12:15.630 --> 00:12:18.840 I am excited about the opportunities 292 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.530 that your knowledge brings to the program, 293 00:12:21.530 --> 00:12:24.509 as well continuing to expand the program. 294 00:12:24.509 --> 00:12:27.680 I think that we're to a great start. 295 00:12:27.680 --> 00:12:31.210 Our students are very excited about 296 00:12:31.210 --> 00:12:33.910 the opportunity that's being provided for them. 297 00:12:33.910 --> 00:12:36.570 And I can't wait to continue following them. 298 00:12:36.570 --> 00:12:38.790 I know we had our first graduating class, and even 299 00:12:38.790 --> 00:12:40.650 though you weren't with them, you've already 300 00:12:40.650 --> 00:12:41.660 had some experience 301 00:12:41.660 --> 00:12:42.493 Yes 302 00:12:42.493 --> 00:12:43.326 by being able to reach out to say 303 00:12:43.326 --> 00:12:44.430 where are you now? 304 00:12:44.430 --> 00:12:46.776 So I continue to hear those success stories 305 00:12:46.776 --> 00:12:49.560 and we're excited and we'll see you again. 306 00:12:49.560 --> 00:12:51.770 So thank you Mr.Jones for joining us. 307 00:12:51.770 --> 00:12:53.360 And we appreciate your time. 308 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:54.943 Thank you so much for the opportunity.
