00:00:00.921 --> 00:00:03.951
You're listening to an encore episode of the Hanford Insider.

00:00:03.951 --> 00:00:11.273
This is the February 25th interview with Hanford Elementary School District Superintendent Joy Gabler.

00:00:11.273 --> 00:00:14.509
I'll be back with all new shows on January 13th.

00:00:14.509 --> 00:00:29.990
Hanford Elementary is the largest school district in Kings County and has been serving the educational needs of the community for over 100 years.

00:00:29.990 --> 00:00:38.110
In this interview I had the opportunity to sit down with my friend, joy Gabler, who has been the superintendent of HESD for the last eight years.

00:00:38.110 --> 00:00:43.131
We started our teaching career together nearly 35 years ago as teachers at Woodrow Wilson.

00:00:43.131 --> 00:00:46.906
She'll share with us some of the great things going on in Hanford Elementary.

00:00:46.906 --> 00:00:55.046
Well, it's so great to be here with Hanford Elementary School District Superintendent Joy Gaber.

00:00:55.046 --> 00:00:56.049
Welcome to the show, joy.

00:00:56.049 --> 00:00:56.612
How are you doing?

00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:58.220
Thanks, Rob.

00:00:58.220 --> 00:01:04.125
I'm excited to be here and talking with you and reconnecting after so many years of working together in the past.

00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.031
Hanford Elementary is one of the oldest school districts in Kings County and you have a lot of schools.

00:01:12.031 --> 00:01:12.632
You have a lot of students.

00:01:12.632 --> 00:01:15.843
Can you kind of highlight your enrollment and some of your stats regarding schools and employees?

00:01:16.686 --> 00:01:17.909
Sure, I'd be happy to do that.

00:01:17.909 --> 00:01:20.921
I'm very proud of our Hanford Elementary organization.

00:01:20.921 --> 00:01:26.492
We currently serve 5,855 students as of the end of last week.

00:01:26.492 --> 00:01:30.867
We serve students in grades TK through eighth grade.

00:01:30.867 --> 00:01:35.079
We have two junior highs serving students in seventh and eighth grade.

00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:39.909
We have eight elementary schools serving students TK through six.

00:01:39.909 --> 00:01:58.751
We have one magnet school, Jefferson Academy, serving students from kindergarten through eighth grade, and that's a dual immersion program English and Spanish and we also have a community day school that services students from kindergarten through eighth grade as well.

00:01:58.751 --> 00:02:10.544
Over 700 employees, encompassing both certificated teachers, classified paraprofessionals, administrators, runs the gamut.

00:02:10.544 --> 00:02:16.354
So roughly 700 employees serving our 5,855 students.

00:02:17.979 --> 00:02:24.742
So with the growth of Hanford there is a lot of improvements and modernization projects that have been going on at the schools.

00:02:24.742 --> 00:02:28.712
We've been seeing the new office buildings that have been constructed.

00:02:28.712 --> 00:02:32.691
What are some of the past projects that you're really proud of that have taken place in the district?

00:02:33.740 --> 00:02:44.860
Yes, I'm very proud of the facilities improvements that we've had going on over the year and I appreciate greatly the community support in our Measure U bond that we passed back in 2016.

00:02:44.860 --> 00:02:49.247
That helped us tremendously in upgrading our facilities.

00:02:49.247 --> 00:02:59.230
So, yes, we started off with a brand new admin building over at Monroe Elementary, went on and did a brand new administrative wing and library.

00:02:59.230 --> 00:03:13.706
At Jefferson, we built a new wing of classrooms at Martin Luther King Jr Elementary, a new wing of transitional kindergarten and kindergarten classrooms at Lincoln as well as modernized all of those classrooms inside.

00:03:13.706 --> 00:03:19.189
We did a full modernization of the classrooms at Washington Elementary as well as Roosevelt.

00:03:19.991 --> 00:03:25.913
We've done HVAC improvements at Woodrow Wilson, some additional solar projects at our school sites.

00:03:25.913 --> 00:03:39.490
Currently we've got projects coming up which includes a new administrative building and parking lot for Woodrow Wilson that will be off of the Park Street area there, so additional parking and an admin building.

00:03:39.490 --> 00:03:47.627
We've just been approved for a TKK wing of classrooms at Monroe, so that will be starting up very soon.

00:03:47.627 --> 00:03:55.054
We're doing HVAC improvements at JFK and adding some solar projects as well to Hamilton and Washington.

00:03:56.122 --> 00:03:58.552
So your staff has been very busy, is what you're saying.

00:03:59.455 --> 00:04:00.319
Extremely busy.

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:17.404
Yes, we've had a lot of construction projects going on, but the improvements made are remarkable Beautiful classroom environments for our students and staff to work in, day in and day out, and not to mention our admin offices for our communities to come in into as well when at our school sites.

00:04:18.187 --> 00:04:19.930
So you have some other projects on the list.

00:04:19.930 --> 00:04:24.730
I see here you've got at least four projects that you're looking at modernization going on.

00:04:25.713 --> 00:04:28.620
I see here you've got at least four projects that you're looking at modernization going on.

00:04:28.620 --> 00:04:47.564
Yes, we do have additional projects that still need to be done and we have now spent all of our Measure U dollars and so we still are looking, hopefully in time, to be able to modernize Jefferson, modernize Monroe the classrooms, modernize Woodrow Wilson as well as as hard as it's to believe, jfk just seems like it came online a few years ago.

00:04:47.564 --> 00:04:53.600
It's over 30 years now JFK doing some modernization in those classrooms.

00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:59.322
But again, those are future projects that will be dependent upon funding as that becomes available.

00:05:00.245 --> 00:05:10.394
One of the things that I've always enjoyed about Hanford Elementary and I know the community has benefited greatly is your extended learning opportunities, like the Ready program and some of the summer programs.

00:05:10.394 --> 00:05:12.105
Can you highlight a few of those?

00:05:12.901 --> 00:05:30.028
Yes, I'm extremely proud of our extended learning programs for years now provides after-school care for our students from transitional kindergarten through sixth grade at our elementary schools at no charge to parents.

00:05:30.028 --> 00:05:34.105
So it's from dismissal time all the way until six o'clock in the evening.

00:05:34.105 --> 00:05:43.747
That involves not only academic homework assistance and time snacks for our students but incredible enrichment opportunities.

00:05:43.747 --> 00:06:02.146
We've had our kids doing karate, we've had cheer units, We've had music units, we have science units, great things going on after school for our students to be engaged in a positive environment until parents are free to pick them up, and again at no cost to our students.

00:06:02.146 --> 00:06:35.608
And then, over the course of the last few years, we've really developed our summer enrichment programs, which again go from 7.30 to 4.30 in the afternoon, no cost to parents, focused on not only an academic strand but also an enrichment strand, a lot of bringing in enrichment activities, science-based activities, hands-on robotics in enrichment activities, science-based activities, hands-on robotics, stem, which is science, technology, engineering, mathematics, as well as the arts, music and writing throughout the summer.

00:06:35.608 --> 00:06:41.009
So, yes, very proud of both our after-school ready and our summer programs available for students.

00:06:41.009 --> 00:07:04.949
So we finally come to academics.

00:07:04.988 --> 00:07:12.783
The board, not only state, provided data through our CASP tests and our ELAC for our English learners, but our own internal assessments.

00:07:12.783 --> 00:07:14.954
There's always work to be done.

00:07:14.954 --> 00:07:20.875
We have work to do but I am super proud of the work that we've been doing over the course of the last few years.

00:07:20.875 --> 00:08:00.009
And when we take data across the state of California and we look at schools that are similar in terms of the demographics the students that we work with, from ethnicity to socioeconomics, and you line Hanford Elementary up against other districts similar demographics we rank number two in the state and then in English language arts we rank number three number two in math behind a school in Orange County and in English language arts behind a school in Los Angeles, in Orange County.

00:08:00.009 --> 00:08:07.935
So respectively number two in the state in mathematics and number three in English language arts when we look at similar demographics.

00:08:07.935 --> 00:08:16.463
So super proud of the work that our teachers and our curriculum and instruction department have been doing in guiding and working on these endeavors.

00:08:17.350 --> 00:08:18.233
That's outstanding.

00:08:18.233 --> 00:08:22.651
Congratulations to your staff and all of your teachers and administrators and parents.

00:08:22.651 --> 00:08:31.997
Speaking of parents, I know that you also take a big step in helping them learn as well with your parent academies.

00:08:31.997 --> 00:08:33.461
What are the parent academies about?

00:08:34.409 --> 00:08:49.315
Yes, our parent academies have been going on for the last few years and it's a wonderful opportunity for parents to learn about what's happening in the classroom with their child so that they in turn, at home can support their child's learning through different activities.

00:08:49.315 --> 00:09:01.898
So we have a Kinder Counts Parent Academy that's provided in English as well as Spanish, and we have a First and Forward Parent Academy, because all age levels are important.

00:09:01.898 --> 00:09:09.558
But at those early ages of kinder and first grade, getting that solid foundation creates a path for success moving forward.

00:09:09.558 --> 00:09:15.743
So our Kinder Counts parents meet once a month over the course of the year, as well as our First and Forward.

00:09:15.743 --> 00:09:18.774
So both of these groups, these parent academies, they're held online.

00:09:18.774 --> 00:09:27.761
We found that parents appreciate the virtual aspect of the academy because they can stay at home and take part in the training.

00:09:27.761 --> 00:09:33.143
Their students can be there alongside them if it calls for it and work on some of the activities.

00:09:33.450 --> 00:09:35.095
And we provide resources to parents.

00:09:35.176 --> 00:09:56.740
Actually, sitting out here on the table I have some of the resources of the most recent academy for mathematics, first and forward, lots of different game-type activities and items that parents are taught how to use so that they can reinforce the skills that are going on and the academies are aligned to the standards that are being taught in the classroom.

00:09:57.210 --> 00:10:02.643
Likewise for kindergarten, we have that went home recently a magnetic letter kit.

00:10:02.643 --> 00:10:08.894
So we're getting used to those letters and sounds and making words, along with literature and books to be read at home.

00:10:08.894 --> 00:10:16.984
Again, our teacher that leads these, maria Porras she's a teacher at Monroe, teaches first grade, has taught kindergarten.

00:10:16.984 --> 00:10:30.193
She leads these trainings along with Lucy Gomez and Cruz Chavez, our parent liaison, so we get these resources out to parents and when the academy is held virtually, they have the resources right in front of them and Maria is teaching the parents.

00:10:30.193 --> 00:10:41.541
Here's what you do to reinforce what's happening in the classroom, to continue the learning at home and the parents have an understanding of what their child is doing and the resources to help them and they get to keep these materials.

00:10:41.541 --> 00:10:43.243
It's been quite successful.

00:10:43.942 --> 00:10:56.962
So in education we talk about the LCAP and how we designate funds for different things that we do and I know that you have students involved in your LCAP process and that's kind of unique.

00:10:56.962 --> 00:10:58.394
How does that work?

00:10:58.990 --> 00:11:08.833
Yes, we're proud that we have incorporated our student voice into the local control accountability plan, which is how we spend our money and how it's put together.

00:11:08.833 --> 00:11:15.475
So we always have to go out to the stakeholders and talk to them and of course that incorporates staff.

00:11:15.475 --> 00:11:17.642
We're talking to our staff about that.

00:11:17.642 --> 00:11:21.980
We're talking to our parents through our parent advisory committee, our DLAC, our school site council.

00:11:21.980 --> 00:11:31.917
But we hold every year a student LCAP event where our junior high students are involved, with fifth and sixth graders from every elementary school.

00:11:31.917 --> 00:11:32.940
Come to JFK.

00:11:33.301 --> 00:11:39.923
We're doing it this year on March 13th and we do a morning of focus group, so to speak.

00:11:39.923 --> 00:11:44.615
The students come and they talk about what they want to see in their education.

00:11:44.615 --> 00:11:48.898
What are things that are working for them, what are things that they'd like to see.

00:11:48.898 --> 00:12:00.370
We talk about all of our programs, from academics to our physical education program, to our music program, to our art program, to what they get to do at school day in and day out.

00:12:00.529 --> 00:12:08.011
So it's their opportunity to bring their voice to the table and share what's important to them, and it's been amazing over the years that we've done it.

00:12:08.011 --> 00:12:13.014
It's really lend us great insight into what our students want to see.

00:12:13.014 --> 00:12:25.283
One of their favorite activities is our food services department brings in samples of food that they get to try and rate and say if that's something they'd like to see on the menu and in the cafeteria.

00:12:25.283 --> 00:12:33.450
And the kids get really excited when they rank something high and it shows up not long after in our on our menu in the cafeteria.

00:12:33.450 --> 00:12:50.388
So definitely one of our favorite times in Hanford Elementary part of the year is our LCAP student event and seeing what our students have to say about their education in Hanford Elementary and seeing what our students have to say about their education in Hanford Elementary.

00:12:50.408 --> 00:12:50.789
How fun is that?

00:12:50.789 --> 00:12:58.421
I remember last year seeing on the social media posts about the students picking cafeteria food or maybe the activities that they were allowed to do at recess with different playground equipment.

00:12:58.421 --> 00:12:59.263
That's so special.

00:12:59.263 --> 00:13:25.595
This next question actually could probably take four or five episodes, because in education now it's 2024, post-pandemic we're seeing a rise of behaviors that are not conducive to learning in the classroom and I think that the school districts have a heavy burden to bear and loving kids but also setting boundaries.

00:13:25.595 --> 00:13:42.903
So just real quick I hate to say real quick, but because it's such an important topic but what kind of structures of support do you have to support students and staff for that matter in dealing with what is education in 2024?

00:13:43.892 --> 00:13:45.255
You make a really good point, rob.

00:13:45.255 --> 00:13:56.464
We are taxed with providing those boundaries for students and doing that in a loving way and providing them the opportunity to grow and learn.

00:13:56.464 --> 00:14:12.672
But we definitely are seeing an increase in various behaviors and want to create those structures where we can teach students to make the right decision and have people that are available to help them guide so as well, that we can have our teaching and learning going on in our classroom.

00:14:12.672 --> 00:14:25.618
I am particularly proud of the structures of support, or our safety net as we call it in Hanford Elementary, to support our students, which in turn also helps support our teachers in the classroom in terms of the work that they're doing.

00:14:25.618 --> 00:14:29.399
We have counselors at all of our school sites.

00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:34.320
Actually, every elementary school, including our community day school, has a counselor available for students.

00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.591
At our junior highs we have actually two counselors available.

00:14:38.693 --> 00:14:48.793
We have a team of social workers three social workers that support our students and families across the district, supporting homeless and foster students as well.

00:14:48.793 --> 00:14:52.957
We have a team of six registered nurses.

00:14:52.957 --> 00:14:56.740
We have students with serious health conditions that come to school every day.

00:14:56.740 --> 00:15:04.866
So having those nurses available to make sure we're doing what we need to to support those children in school and then at every school site.

00:15:04.866 --> 00:15:09.711
On top of that is a licensed vocational nurse that is available to support students.

00:15:09.791 --> 00:15:21.418
At all of our schools we have a team of eight psychologists that are out there helping and working alongside our students, providing them opportunities to know what they need and address those needs.

00:15:21.418 --> 00:15:29.865
And then at our elementary schools we have our student specialists, who also play a role in supporting kids in classrooms and making right decisions.

00:15:29.865 --> 00:15:50.889
And those social emotional that's the word we hear in education right now and it's a big component of that social emotional skill base and providing our students with the tools to, when we're feeling certain ways, what's the appropriate way to respond to those emotions versus an inappropriate way, making those right decisions, so to speak.

00:15:50.889 --> 00:15:55.813
So a strong team to provide that safety net those right decisions, so to speak.

00:15:55.894 --> 00:15:57.615
So a strong team to provide that safety net.

00:15:57.615 --> 00:16:03.485
Well, there's so much more we could say about that right, like I said, that could be several episodes in itself, but we're short on time, so let's talk.

00:16:03.485 --> 00:16:15.041
You know, we talked about the growth of Hanford and needing to remodel and upgrade facilities, but the demographics and the areas in which people live in the district are changing.

00:16:15.041 --> 00:16:20.610
So how are you dealing with the change in attendance boundaries, for instance?

00:16:36.634 --> 00:16:50.879
south of 198, specifically in the MLK attendance area, there's a number of housing developments going up along Hume Hume all the way out to Houston and then up to 12th Avenue and, for that matter, even across 12th Avenue and so that's put a real stressor on Martin Luther King Jr Elementary School, which is on Hume there.

00:16:50.879 --> 00:17:00.917
If we had not adjusted our boundaries, within a year MLK would have been at absolute capacity, would not have been able to handle or take in any more students.

00:17:00.917 --> 00:17:15.000
So over the course of this year, working with a demographer, we've adjusted our boundaries for the next school year, for the 24-25 school year, mlk again being our hot spot, we've actually taken two areas.

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:22.944
There's an area, neighborhood just off of 11th Avenue, actually east of 11th Avenue, that crossed the street and went to MLK.

00:17:22.944 --> 00:17:24.925
Now they're going to be going to Lincoln.

00:17:24.925 --> 00:17:33.511
And then there's a little area, tempe Drive, north to Hanford-Armona, that will now attend Roosevelt School.

00:17:34.592 --> 00:17:41.955
I will add that students who are presently enrolled will not be impacted, so those students who are at the school will be able to remain.

00:17:41.996 --> 00:18:04.786
This is for new incoming students and, I'll add, for parents who maybe have a student who is at one school and now is living in an attendance boundary for a new school, they can take both of their children to that new school, so they don't have to necessarily have one child at one school and one child at the other school Roosevelt because we're sending some students from MLK to Roosevelt.

00:18:04.786 --> 00:18:10.365
There is an area actually south of one, I'm sorry, north of 198, that was Roosevelt.

00:18:10.365 --> 00:18:22.407
Those students will now be going over to Lee Richmond and there's also just a little pocket in there between Lacey and 198 that students would go to Monroe.

00:18:22.407 --> 00:18:26.280
Right now we're aware of only two students that live in that area.

00:18:26.280 --> 00:18:27.403
They will now.

00:18:27.403 --> 00:18:31.281
Well, new students coming in will now also go to Lee-Richmond.

00:18:31.281 --> 00:18:44.135
So it's trying to offset the tremendous amount of growth down there off of Hume and making sure we can maintain capacity at MLK for our students that live in those boundaries.

00:18:45.297 --> 00:18:46.459
That's a lot to keep track of.

00:18:46.459 --> 00:18:54.388
So, getting students to school, then I've seen some buses around town with some green rims.

00:18:54.388 --> 00:18:56.076
What's that about?

00:18:56.978 --> 00:19:02.127
Yes, transportation, and let me just say transportation we need bus drivers.

00:19:02.127 --> 00:19:06.343
So if there's anybody out there who's interested, we often offer free classes.

00:19:06.343 --> 00:19:12.781
If you watch our Facebook page or website, I'm putting in a plug for bus drivers here.

00:19:12.781 --> 00:19:15.769
But yes, we have a fleet of electric buses.

00:19:15.769 --> 00:19:17.439
We're very proud of our electric buses.

00:19:17.439 --> 00:19:20.896
We were the first district in Kings County to bring on electric buses.

00:19:20.896 --> 00:19:26.426
That was our first route of electric buses was in January of 2022.

00:19:26.426 --> 00:19:30.757
And now we've grown to a fleet of electric bus 11 electric buses.

00:19:30.757 --> 00:19:39.602
We have a full charging station over at our district facility service facilities, area, solar as well, and then charging stations there.

00:19:39.602 --> 00:19:50.107
So we're very proud of our green-rimmed electric buses making their way through the streets of Hanford School bus drivers.

00:19:50.147 --> 00:19:54.550
But I know of course you're always looking for additional people to work in the school system.

00:19:54.550 --> 00:19:58.073
You know paraeducationals, those types of positions.

00:20:02.575 --> 00:20:04.861
What are you particularly interested in hiring for this upcoming school year?

00:20:04.861 --> 00:20:05.422
Yes, good point, and I do.

00:20:05.422 --> 00:20:06.063
I encourage.

00:20:06.063 --> 00:20:08.328
Watch our Facebook page, watch our website.

00:20:08.328 --> 00:20:13.784
We are constantly in hiring mode Bus drivers right now across the board.

00:20:13.784 --> 00:20:19.875
Districts throughout Kings County, and Hanford Elementary for that matter, are in great need of bus drivers.

00:20:19.875 --> 00:20:29.549
Hanford Elementary in particular, we are constantly looking for ready staff, staff to provide that after school enrichment program from, you know, three to six in the evening.

00:20:29.549 --> 00:20:33.557
So there's a constant need for paraprofessionals, as you mentioned, rob.

00:20:33.557 --> 00:20:35.919
So those are our ready program tutors.

00:20:35.919 --> 00:21:12.722
Even our paraprofessionals that support our transitional kindergarten classes, aides that support our students in special education, as well as positions across the district for classified spots, were constantly in need of custodians, whether it's a full-time position or subbing, for that matter, getting on to help sub in the classroom as a certificated teacher or sub in classified positions such as a custodial or aides, but then as well, hiring for those positions constantly in hiring mode.

00:21:13.785 --> 00:21:14.928
So you don't do this alone.

00:21:14.928 --> 00:21:26.367
You've got just a tremendous staff and administrators, a team of administrators, and this is your opportunity to give all of your people in Hanford Elementary a shout out.

00:21:27.479 --> 00:21:28.547
I am super biased.

00:21:28.547 --> 00:21:29.535
I love Hanford Elementary.

00:21:29.535 --> 00:21:40.808
This is my 33rd year in the district, finishing up my eighth year as superintendent, and we have an incredible team across the board at all levels, at all positions.

00:21:40.808 --> 00:21:43.878
We have a strong administrative team at our school sites.

00:21:43.878 --> 00:21:55.221
At the district level, of course, our human resources department, led by Jamie Martinez, our assistant superintendent of HR, and his support staff, cherise Rose and Michelle Alexander.

00:21:55.221 --> 00:21:58.969
Cherise works with our classified personnel, michelle with our certificated.

00:21:58.969 --> 00:22:12.111
Jill Rubikava is our assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction and leads that good hard work of you know, teaching our students day in and day out, supported by great staff, and they're our curriculum specialist.

00:22:12.111 --> 00:22:29.416
Great staff and they're a curriculum specialist.

00:22:29.416 --> 00:22:37.050
Jason Strickland is our assistant superintendent of special services, overseeing Ready, the nurses, the counselors, as well as Leslie Morin, who is our program specialist for special, keeps his money on the, his eyes on the money, and keeps us going as well.

00:22:37.050 --> 00:22:39.659
Our director of facilities, bill Potter.

00:22:39.659 --> 00:22:45.607
Our IT department, which everything tech related these days, david Goldsmith.

00:22:45.607 --> 00:22:51.326
In that area we have a great which I didn't even highlight super proud of our induction program.

00:23:11.615 --> 00:23:15.934
No-transcript.

00:23:15.934 --> 00:23:25.347
We have a great team that keep our grounds looking phenomenal Frank Lorenco, doug Rose, our principals out at our schools, our learning directors.

00:23:25.347 --> 00:23:27.804
I could go through our teachers in our classroom.

00:23:27.804 --> 00:23:33.744
I mean, that's where the rubber hits the road in the classrooms, working with the students on academics.

00:23:33.744 --> 00:23:46.017
We have a tremendous music program, great music at our elementary schools and then, of course, at both Woodrow Wilson and JFK and Jefferson.

00:23:46.156 --> 00:24:05.699
I could list off all of our incredible music people, our art program and our support staff that are right out there alongside helping keep this all going, from, you know, our food service workers in the cafeterias to our bus drivers who pick up those students early in the morning and get them to school safely.

00:24:05.699 --> 00:24:17.142
We have working here every day, day in and day out, for our students and without a dedicated and committed board.

00:24:17.142 --> 00:24:18.742
I'd like to acknowledge our board.

00:24:18.742 --> 00:24:23.284
They're steadfast and committed to what's right by students and staff.

00:24:23.284 --> 00:24:33.527
Bobby Garcia, jeff Garner, lupe Hernandez, tim Ravius and Greg Strickland are committed to the community of Hanford and to our students and our staff.

00:24:33.527 --> 00:24:40.489
So I hope I didn't leave anybody out, because we really have a tremendous group of individuals working in our organization.

00:24:41.528 --> 00:24:45.750
That's often the difficulty when you want to thank so many people that you leave someone off.

00:24:45.750 --> 00:24:59.314
But, joy, it's been a wonderful time catching up with you and all of the wonderful things happening in the Hanford Elementary School District, and I'd like to wish you and your staff a successful end of the school year, coming up and looking forward to next school year.

00:25:08.295 --> 00:25:08.556
