The Week of January 19, 2015
KUDOS TO YOU!
GARCIA MIDDLE SCHOOL
Garcia held a College Door Contest in a continued effort to promote college life! Judging the doors were Dr. Elba Garcia (Dallas County Commissioner), Judge Sara Martinez ( Justice of the Peace Precinct 5-1, Marina Ruiz (Local On Air Radio Personality ), and HP Garcia Counselors Ms. Scott and Ms. Marlin. First place went to Ms. Tookes! Congratulations to you! GO TEAM GARCIA!
PEELER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Kudos to Peeler's Pre-K teacher, Mrs. Cardona, for being a model classroom for bilingual instruction! Mrs. Cardona has had several Pre-K teachers come and observe her because she is considered the model teacher for Bilingual Pre-K. Both Pre-K classrooms received new furniture and materials from the Early Childhood department!
PEELER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PART II
1. The power of knowing how to write a hook.
2. The power of using transition words.
3. The power of proper capitalization.
4. The power of knowing how to conclude an essay.
GO TEAM PEELER!
