Tiger Tracks
By Julie Shore, Principal
Staff Edition Jan. 15th, 2016
Welcome to 2016!
What a great week! I have truly enjoyed watching our kids in the halls, at the 8th grade visit and at basketball games. I hope everyone enjoys a nice three day weekend with your families. Please take time for yourself to relax and recharge. See you Tuesday!
Celebrations
Tex Hill students get up close and personal with one rather notorious amphibian. This week Tex Hill 7th graders had the opportunity to begin the dissection of frogs. Ms. Henning and Mr. Pacheco kept their students busy allowing them hands on experience during the process.
