Southside family, I pray that your weekend was restful and time spent with family and loved ones was eventful.
"STARTING STRONG IS GOOD, FINISHING STRONG IS EPIC!"- Robin Sharma.
This is our last week before our scholars take the English I and II STAAR/EOC
tests. Huge shout out to our ELA department for the STAAR/EOC camps they have been running to prepare our scholars for these tests. Please check out some of the pictures that have been taken that exemplifies the students’ levels of engagement and the creativity of the teachers and support team. With that said, our students are feeling the pressure and may demonstrate extreme signs of disengagement from time to time as a result. That same pressure applies to us as well. Let us not place our-self nor our students into a corner as if it's a do or die situation. One must be totally blind not to recognize the growth and determination of our teaching staff and our scholars. We have toiled almost over 3/4 of our academic year by working through a very challenging way of educating our youth, staying the course, and recognizing areas for improvement. Though sometimes we failed, we still acted out of a sense of urgency and got back onto our feet. That's that energy we celebrate, we motivate, we stimulate, and we anticipate. Family, the staff at SGHS appreciate your efforts in supporting us and your students with offering 110% each day. Let's finish Strong! We’ve worked too hard and have come too far to settle for less...... We got this!!!
Lastly, I want to acknowledge and express my appreciation of our AMAZING LIBRARIANS of SGHS! As I met with a few colleagues over the weekend, one shared a poem that symbolizes their school librarian. As she began reading the poem, it made me wonder if the author wrote this poem in the image of our two amazing librarians. (THANK YOU MY LIBRARIAN). The poem was obviously inspired by a student’s point-of-view. It is from that point-of-view, I thought about the many students and staff currently and from the past that were blessed by these ladies’ presence and thoughtfulness.
Family, be bold in what you are trying to achieve, govern yourselves accordingly, and always remember that joy comes in the morning!!
