The Weekly Hoot
May 2-8, 2016
Let's start with a picture of our two newest little Owls!!!!
Greetings All -
What a long week! It is just that time of year. SLOs, STAAR, and all sort of other acronyms!! You all are amazing! Rebecca Cawthon posted a link to a wonderful article on Facebook this morning and I am attaching it below because I think we all need to read it and take it to heart. We are tired right now. We are grumpy. We are feeling ready to throw our hands up. But then, right when we least expect it, a child makes a breakthrough, or you get a hug from a child, or a parent thanks you. At that moment, you know you are in the greatest profession in the world.

Just a little info as personnel changes are made:
After interviews on Thursday, I have offered the 3rd grade Science and Social Studies job to Bonnie Myers. Bonnie is a graduate of Anderson-Shiro CISD. She has been teaching in Magnolia at Nichols Sawmill Elementary for the past 11 years. She and her husband Terry have two daughters and live in Anderson. The two girls are in 1st grade and PK and will be new Anderson-Shiro Elementary Owls next year. Welcome Bonnie! We are excited you are part of our team.
Baylee Brzozowski has also been offered the position of Character Education/Health Instructional Assistant. Baylee is graduating May 6 with her teaching degree from Sam Houston State University. She, her husband Ty, daughter Braize live in Plantersville, Texas. Braize will also be a new Anderson-Shiro Elementary Owl next year as she will be entering PK and waiting on her baby brother to arrive in November.
We will be interviewing for the Math Instructional Assistant position this week and I hopefully will be able to announce that person next week.
Lastly, it is Teacher Appreciation Week. I hope you all know, but in case you don't, all of you mean the absolute world to me. Teaching these days is a down and dirty, gritty, underappreciated profession. It is definitely not for the fainthearted! You all are the best of the best. Time and time again, I have had people let me know how amazed they are at our faculty and staff. Your work ethic and dedication to our students is second to none. I have never been more proud to say how much I love working with a group of dedicated professionals such as yourself. You all amaze me every day and I love you very much! Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
With that being said --- jeans day all week for Teacher Appreciation Week!!!!
Have a great week!
Love,
Marcy
