EAGLE EXTRA!

We are wishing all the best to the Argyle High School Debate team as they compete this week at the UIL State competition at the University of Texas at Austin.
AHS students Caleb Leonard, Srimaan Kolanakuduru and Jennifer Ochoa competed in the Congressional Debate preliminary rounds. Out of the 52 competitors, only 18 move to the finals at the Texas Capital Building.
Argyle Middle School student Kace Winfield has an acting career that is taking off at 12 years old. The Eagle sixth-grader is featured this week in the Denton Record-Chronicle for his role in the family-friendly movie Moonrise, which features country singer Granger Smith. The movie was released in December on Pure Flix, a faith and family streaming service.
Great job, Kace!

Just before the winter break, Argyle ISD Superintendent Dr. Telena Wright and district administration surprised an Argyle South Elementary teacher!
Early Childhood Special Education teacher Lisa Schreck was the first-ever winner of the "Wright Stuff" award. This recognition is named after Superintendent Dr. Telena Wright and recognizes a staff member who exemplifies the characteristics of...Kindness, Integrity, Resiliency, Determination and Inclusivity.
Argyle ISD employees are nominated for the award and will be recognized each month. The winner receives a $100 Amazon gift card and the program is sponsored by our Eagle Partners.
As she was being honored in the classroom, Dr. Wright read a few comments from those who nominated her.
"Lisa is unfailingly patient, kind and always works to include all the students in her class in all activities whether inside the classroom or outside regardless of their individual needs and skill levels. She believes in serving the students in her class to the best of her ability and displays a dogged sense of integrity in how she approaches working with each student and in how she treats her students. She is extremely collaborative in working with the aides in her room as well as with specialists and school staff. We're very lucky to have her on our campus."
"Mrs. Schreck promotes inclusivity to all of her students. It is only November and her group has grown and come so far. She adapts to new students and diversity that she faces. She is always working so hard and is determined to see growth in her kiddos. She shows resiliency when she faces a tough day and always does it with a smile on her face. I love working down the hall from her and watching her work her magic with the ESCE students."
The Argyle High School Counseling Department is hosting a presentation by the Department of Homeland Security & Children's Advocacy Center of North Texas following the winter break.

For student safety, parking Lot C will remain closed through January while the additional spaces are being added to the lot.
