W.T. White Feeder Pattern
Community Newsletter - January/February 2016
A note from Ms. Paschall, Executive Director
Our mission in the WT White feeder pattern is to cultivate a premier learning community to foster globally, responsive citizens. I think you will agree from the great things occurring, we are focused on our mission. A special recognition goes to Caillet Elementary who earned the designation as a National Title One School. This is an incredible honor! Congratulations to our students and teachers for a job well done! There are many other special things occurring in the WT White feeder pattern because of the outstanding leadership provided by our teachers and administrators and the hard work occurring by our incredible students. Spread the word to all your friends, family, and community members that the WT White Feeder schools are the place to be!

F.P. Caillet was selected by TEA to participate in a Capacity Building Initiative. TEA came to the campus and videoed our Best Practices, Data Analysis and Climate in an effort to capture all of the great things that are happening at Caillet. The video should be released by TEA and shared Statewide in the next month or so.
F. P. Caillet represented Texas as a Title One National Distinguished School at the National Title One Conference in Houston. Ms. Pantoja and four Caillet teachers attended the conference to receive the award and honor on behalf of the entire staff. Only one elementary and one secondary campus are chosen from the entire state.

Congratulations to members of the non-varsity and varsity bands. On Saturday, February 6 they participated in the district's band solo and ensemble event at Thomas Jefferson high school and earned 66 First Division medals. First division ratings are the highest score possible in Texas music evaluations. Those 66 first division ratings set a record for the Marsh band going back at least 22 years.
Again, congratulations to the members of the non-varsity and varsity bands for their hard work and for representing our school so well year after year.
ED Walker Middle School

W.T. White High School
WTW High School asked the Spanish speaking parents to come together and share their ideas to help come up with ways they would like to be more involved with their students’. The group focused on building a community conversation to bring Spanish speaking parents together with great success. We had about 25 or 30 parents who listened to Sgt. Munoz from DPD’s Unidos and the Latino Advisory Committee (LAC) from Withers Elementary to help decide how they would like to organize themselves and workshops they would like to have to build their community. They will be meeting again in February and their numbers will undoubtedly grow each time they meet. So proud of our Spanish speaking parents in the WTW feeder pattern!
W. T. White Cheerleaders earned several honors in the first ever UIL State Spirit Championship held Friday, January 15 at The University of Texas at Arlington.
