Jags are on the Move!
Hello Jag Families,
This month we start our tennis and track seasons. Come out and support our Jags as they present their athletic abilities at the tennis court and on the track field.
This month is filled with reasons to celebrate. Remember to take time to acknowledge the contributions African Americans have made to our country as it is African American History Month. If you would like more information, please visit any of the multiple websites available including, but not limited to the following opportunities to remember and celebrate here in Houston: https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/arts-culture/2020/02/05/359692/copy-of-15-ways-to-celebrate-african-american-history-month-in-houston/.
Also, remember to love your heart as this is American Heart Health Month. The American Heart Association is the oldest and largest voluntary health organization. Its purpose is to help prevent America's No. 1 and No. 4 killers, heart disease and stroke. The AHA promotes good health, funds cutting-edge research and provides professional education programs.
