Bobcat Connection
Learning. Growing. Collaborating & Achieving @KrumHighSchool
October 23, 2017
Hello, Bobcat Families.
Good evening. On Friday, students were given report cards. If you need your parent portal information, it is not too late. Please contact Mrs. Morrow at brenda.morrow@krumisd.net and she will get you your login information. In addition, if you would like to set up a parent/teacher conference, we are happy to facilitate that process, please contact our office at 940/482-2601. We look forward to working with you throughout this educational journey.
This week we will celebrate Red Ribbon Week. Our Student Council has declared this the week to say yes to their future and no to any harmful substances that might divert their goals. Students are invited to dress up and participate in this week's events.
Good luck to Johanna Drews as she competes at Regional Cross Country on Monday. Good Luck to Volleyball as they compete against Sanger for the District Championship on Tuesday. Good Luck to Band, as they compete at the UIL Marching Contest on Wednesday. (This is a reschedule date.) We also send best of luck to FFA members, Kyle Real and Channing Pieniazek, as they compete in the National FFA Agriscience Fair in Indianapolis, IN this week.
Thank you to everyone who helped with our service project last week. National Honor society collected over 130 units of blood. The Pizza Food Truck completely sold out of pizza, and students ordered shirts and brought cards for Dylan. Thank you for supporting one another through love and acts of kindness.
Please join us before that game on Friday for Senior Night as we honor our senior football players, cheerleaders, trainers, band members, colorguard members, cross country runners, and tennis players. (For time purposes, band and colorguard will be honored during halftime.)
Let's make it a great week!
Go Bobcats!

W. "Tip" Hall, a longtime educator, preacher and legislator who served on the CoServ Electric Board of Directors for 10 years, was instrumental in developing the scholarship program.

Post-Secondary Planning
Vanderbilt University
Cornelius Vanderbilt had a vision of a place that would “contribute to strengthening the ties that should exist between all sections of our common country” when he gave $1 million to create a university in 1873.
Today that vision has been realized in Vanderbilt, an internationally recognized research university in Nashville, Tennessee, with strong partnerships among its 10 schools, neighboring institutions and the community.
Vanderbilt offers undergraduate programs in the liberal arts and sciences, engineering, music, education and human development, as well as a full range of graduate and professional degrees. The combination of cutting-edge research, liberal arts education, nationally recognized schools of law, business, medicine, nursing and divinity, and one of the nation's top-ranked graduate schools of education creates an invigorating atmosphere where students tailor their education to meet their goals and researchers collaborate to address the complex questions affecting our health, culture and society.
Vanderbilt provides a gateway to greatness, drawing the brightest students from across the nation and around the world. Vanderbilt alumni can be found in Congress, on the judicial bench, in the pulpit, leading corporations, conducting innovative medical research, serving in their communities, and playing in the NFL, major league baseball, the PGA and LPGA.
Vanderbilt, an independent, privately supported university, and the separate, nonprofit Vanderbilt University Medical Center share a respected name and enjoy close collaboration through education and research. Together, the number of people employed by these two organizations exceeds that of the largest private employer in the Middle Tennessee region.
