STAAR Brings us a Star!

In preparation for our "testing season," we were blessed to have a special guest speak to our students.  Holly Tucker, who was a student at Lorena Elementary School back in 2002-2003, came to uplift our students with her singing and positive comments.

At 2:15 on Friday, March 27th, the students gathered in our Performing Arts Center to hear our famous ex-student.  One of the key phrases she left with our students was that they weren't going to be taking a test, they were participating in a "Celebration of Learning."  She noted how her teachers have prepared them for these celebrations and that they were ready.  She encouraged them to do their best and to work hard on all the tests.

Besides singing and speaking, she took some time to answer questions that the students had.  It was a very enjoyable and uplifting event.  We thank Holly for taking time for our students.
