Prizes will be for everyone (not just ladies this time) including Yeti Coolers, boots, purses, etc. There will be a silent auction and door prizes. Tickets are $50 and must be purchased in advance. Tickets include dinner, drinks, and 10 Bingo cards and can be purchased at www.shisd.net. Seating is limited so don't wait to get your tickets. Come join us for a fun night that raises money for teacher grants.
Kudos:
- Thanks to Billy Miller and our maintenance and custodial crew for combating the outbreak of flu by doubling up on building cleaning and disinfecting. Remember to wash your hands and cover your coughs and sneezes.
- Ann Kroyer helped a mom who will be relocating to Spring Hill. Ann received this email from the mom after she left ~ I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for all your help today! I look forward to being here permanently and having all this work behind me. Relocation is so hard and it helps so much to meet people that care! Thanks again ~ Wendy McClimon.
Family Concerns
- Gloria Willeford had surgery this week. She is home resting and doing fine.
- Carol Procell is recovering and is back at work this week.
- Intermediate student Braylon C. is in need of prayers as he begins his treatments for cancer. The doctor's prognosis is positive and hoping for a full recovery. Intermediate will sell bracelets to help the family with medical expenses.
LEADERSHIP LONGVIEW COMES TO SHISD
This week Leadership Longview hosted an Education Day. Forty members of the business community toured PTISD Pre-K, SH High School, and LeTourneau University. The team was given a demonstration by Mrs. Bass' Robotic program and shown the 3D printer in action. Mrs. Rice's culinary arts students prepared and served the team lunch while they listened to a group panel of community educators from each district, The Crisman School, and St. Mary's Catholic School.
The students discussed how SHHS has prepared them for life after high school and focused on CTE classes. Panther family, you would be very proud to hear the kind words all students said about the efforts of their teachers and the impact they have made on their lives.
Thanks to Leann Holder, Tana Bray and Cathy Reed for preparing the library for the team and thank you to the high school and Mr. Lind for the excellent hospitality.

District of Innovation
Potential benefits of becoming a District of Innovation include:
- Local control: Districts decide which flexibilities best suit their local needs.
- Customization: Districts can create an innovation plan for a level of school (e.g., only high schools), grade level, or a single campus.
- Autonomy: Districts must submit a District of Innovation plan to the commissioner of education, but approval is not required.
- Flexibility: Districts will have the flexibility to implement practices similar to charter schools, including exemptions from mandates such as: school start calendar, 90% attendance rule, class-size ratios, site-based decision-making processes, certain student discipline provisions, use of planning and preparation periods, teacher appraisal requirements

FRISCO INDOOR MEET RECAP
This past Saturday, eight high school track boys traveled to their first indoor meet, held at The Star in Frisco. These boys were among over 1,000 other competitors, many of which were setting state and national records. They ran in 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 meter events. They ended up leaving the track, setting not only many personal best, but gaining valuable experience to take home for themselves and their teammates. We are excited for what is to come in the near future as track season is now upon us. We look forward to hopefully going far this season as we represent Spring Hill. Thank you for all of your support.
