BAND STUDENTS STATE BOUND
This past weekend, fifteen band students competed against other top north Texas 3A schools at the UIL Area round. We would like to congratulate the following band students on making the 2017 ATSSB 3A All-State band: Alex Roddy on French horn and Mckenna Apodaca on flute. Both students will be attending a 4 day clinic and perform with other top 5% of band students from around Texas in San Antonio this February.
SCHOOL BOARD APPRECIATION
MOODY'S MATH CHALLENGE
Mrs. Haynes' calculus students are taking part in Moody's Math Challenge. This is sponsored by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics and it is an awesome way for kids to see how all of their mathematical studies can work in real life. They have had 11 modeling scenarios, so far, for which the students have given schemes and possible solutions. The scenarios range from medical, to business, to scientific research.They get points for creativity, originality, and problem solving skills. The top ten students will be placed on two 5-person teams for competition. The competitive challenge will last 14 hours beginning on February 24!
