A Note from the Principal
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Students enjoyed the Valentine Spirit Week dress days and the middle school dance last week. Student activities are an important part of building a positive school culture. We always look forward to offering more activities for students to enjoy.
The Mock STAAR test is this week for middle school and high school students. Please send your child to school well-rested and prepared. Breakfast is served in cafeteria 118 at 7:30 AM.
Also, students will not attend school Monday, February 17th. It is a professional development day for teachers and staff.
Thank you,
Have a wonderful week.
Dr. Ilker Fidan

The Texas Department of Agriculture’s (TDA’s) You Art What You Eat statewide student art contest engages students K-12 in learning about healthy nutrition. The art contest encourages students to use their imagination to illustrate healthy school meals while incorporating TDA’s theme.
The winning entries inspire designs for cafeteria posters, social media ads, flyers and other
resources that will be displayed in schools across Texas during National School Lunch Week

offered in the cafeteria every day through the National School Lunch Program and School
Breakfast Program. Each school that offers these programs has an opportunity to celebrate
nutritious meals at school during National School Lunch Week in the fall, and School Breakfast Week in the spring.
The original artwork from the winners and runners up will be displayed in the State Capitol
each spring. Specific dates can be found online at www.SquareMeals.org/ArtContest.
