The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

We're nearing the end of the first semester of a very productive school year.  As most adults will say about life, it goes by so quickly.  That is no different this year.  This first semester has been filled with a lot of good memories.  Our new teachers have made themselves right at home and our students have adjusted to their new grades.  
Just recently our students competed in UIL.  We took a lot of students who have been working on their content.  This year we were 3rd in our district behind Robinson and Gatesville.  We're already talking about next year to see how we can make improvements.  We would love to be first and we have the potential to be first.  We will have recognize all the competitors in a morning assembly in January.  I'll let you all know later when that will be.

Our 4th graders made a trip to the Primary School to read to Kindergarten and 1st graders.  They loved sitting down with them, reading to a small group of students.  Our 5th grade took a special service field trip to Westview Nursing Home in McGregor.  Like the 4th Grade, our 5th Graders went to serve others, reading stories and singing carols.

I hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas break.  We look forward to seeing our students back on Tuesday, January 3rd.
