Reach, Aim, Soar----Middle School Partners
Partners Program at Poe Middle School had a successful third nine weeks. Students continued to strive towards greatness. We had an excellent field trip to the McNay Art museum in late January, on the 30th. I want to personally thank Mrs. Hauser and Mrs Shonebarger from Community In Schools (CIS) for making this experience a possibility.
The McNay trip was themed around "Heroes and Villains" and this tied in perfectly with the Language Arts unit of Greek Mythology. I'm extremely proud of the Poe Partners kids for being able to interact with the docents that were our guides on our trip. The docents were also very pleased with the prior knowledge the Poe Partners students displayed through out their tour.
We later had an excellent experience making some hands-on mixed media art with clay, putty, and color pencils. Poe represented our district very well and created some great works of art during the hands-on art time.

Dream SA returned to Poe Partners
Students had a wonderful time with the Dream SA people. Ms. Meredith Howe was gracious enough to return to Poe and give us a great presentation on the Dream SA initiative for the youth of San Antonio.
In this presentation she gave the students a presentation on what motivates them to be successful and strive for greatness. She called it their "Spark". Students spoke of their family, friends, and teachers that motivated them to do better in their lives or in school.

Edgenuity and Core Classes for the Partners Program
Renewed Vigor for Education
We are progressing through our Edgenuity courses and core classes. Students are trying harder to be successful not only in the Edgenuity lab but also in their core classes. Many have become more focused in their various STAAR countdowns in their different core subjects.
