So Inspired

Last night was our 8th grade semi-formal dance.  It was an awesome event with so many parents putting on a great event for their kids.  I just got to sit back and watch as it unfolded.  Many of the kids told me it was the best dance ever!  I will really miss this group of 8th graders as they graduate and I send them on to high school next year.  It is so rewarding as a public school administrator to see all different kids with different back grounds navigate through middle school with grace and elegance.  Oh don't get me wrong, there were some bumps and bruises along the way, but they got through them. I am proud of each and everyone of them and know that we have prepared them well.  There is a great quote my principal always uses in graduation:


“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” 
― Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!

I wish this class well and God speed!

This is from the dance last night- Crazy Teachers!

  Another inspiring event that happened this year was to one of our teachers- Mr. Teal- He was chosen as not just the school's teacher of the year, but also Round Rock ISD secondary teacher of the year.  We are all so proud of him and the difference he makes each day to the lives of our students. This is for you Mr. Teal- you make a difference to each and everyone of us!
