LIFE PRINCIPLE OF THE WEEK--Fortitude
“How you react when your back is against the wall will determine if you see what's actually over the wall.”
― Onyi Anyado
TEACHER OF THE WEEK
Adam Duc-Music Teacher
Hi my name is Adam Duc. This is my ninth year to teach music here at Chavez. I graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in Music Education. Music is my passion and purpose in life. Besides teaching music, I play bass and sing in a Dallas rock band. Recently I began oil painting as well. When not teaching, playing music, or painting, I spend time with my beautiful wife Sarah. We enjoy theater, traveling, biking, reading, and many other activities together.

Google Cardboard Field Trip
Mrs. Tschudy's 3rd grade class experienced a virtual field trip using a Google cardboard field trip device. What looks like the old viewmaster with slides is a virtual tour using a cell phone app for video. Students visited mars, museums, and Jerusalem to name a few places. This is the latest education product put out by Google for use in the classroom.
FLU SEASON
It’s time to start thinking about flu season!
Fall is upon us, and it’s time to start thinking about getting vaccinated for the flu! The CDC recommends getting your flu vaccination by October so it will have plenty of time to become effective by the time flu season actually arrives. It can take up to a full 2 weeks for the vaccine to become effective after you receive it. Call your doctor today and schedule an appointment to receive vaccinations for your entire family.
