Noel Esquivel, Jairo Cabrera, Taylor Jacobsen, & Nathan Zamora of Kelly Lane MS (via Jeri T.): My son has struggled with wanting to go to school since Kindergarten. This year, he has joined the band and not only is he doing the work, he actually enjoys school and wants to go! I've never seen him put this much energy and work into anything. The culture and encouraging environment you build for your students has done amazing things for my kid. I cannot thank you enough!
James Hairston of Robert E Hendrickson (via Tonya P.): Hendrickson Marching Band who won 9th place at this years Band of American Grand National competition in Indianapolis. These young adults and band Directors worked tirelessly over the past few months to perfect their performance, Trainlapse. They put blood, sweat, tears and everything they had into their craft. Out of 100 competitors hailing from 25 states, Hawk Band won 9th place in finals and 3rd place in their 3A class!!!! What a monumental achievement for HHS, PFLUGERVILLE and Texas state in general. Hard works pays off. Let’s take some time out to highlight the accomplishments of HHS Marching Band and Mr. Hairston for his leadership and guidance.
Ms. Brooks of Murchison Elementary - 5th grade (via Erica B.): I want to give a shout-out to Ms. Brooks (5th grade)! She sent a heart-felt email to wish us a Happy Thanksgiving and shared her favorite qualities about our student. It is evident that she treats her students with love and kindness and we appreciate her very much.
David Quinton of Kelly Lane Middle (via Ange W): Coach David Quinton will be greatly missed at KLMS. Congratulations to PHS on the great addition to your athletic program. Coach Quinton has the heart of a champion but at the same time mentored young men admirably. Our son benefited greatly from his leadership. I don’t think PFISD can find another AD who will have a lasting effect at KLMS.
Raelyn Wood of Cele Middle School (via Anonymous): Ms Wood has made the transition for our oldest to middle school so enjoyable. She has welcomed her with open arms and been her safe space when she needs that extra care. I can never fully express my gratitude for being a light in what could have been a difficult period in a kid’s life. The way she lights up when she talks about what she learned that day in your class tells me everything I need to know. Thank you so much.
Sandy Wood of Rowe Lane ES (via Anonymous): I could never fully convey my appreciation of Mrs. Wood. She was a former teacher for us but to this day still checks in to see how my kid is doing. She has been someone I can reach out to to discuss questions and concerns. Thank you for seeing and helping my child find that love of learning.
