Bobcat Connection
Learning. Growing. Collaborating & Achieving @KrumHighSchool
May 1, 2021
Dear Bobcat Families:
Happy Saturday! It is hard to believe that May is already here. The warmer spring temperatures are certainly welcome. As we reflect on the past 14 months, we have come a long way since COVID shut down our country. When we returned in August, everyone had a lot of questions of the best way to serve our students and staff. This year has challenged all stakeholders to be flexible beyond imagination. We have learned so much along the way and we appreciate your support through the process. Krum ISD sent a survey this week seeking your input on how to improve. We appreciate everyone who has already completed the survey. There are several outstanding suggestions that have already been submitted and we will take these into consideration. We realize everyone's time is a valuable commodity. If you have a few minutes, we would like to collect your thoughts. Here is the link to the survey: https://forms.gle/tGRmojdjCy2416i4A.
This week is one of my favorite weeks of the year - Teacher Appreciation Week! As the daughter of a retired teacher, and granddaughter of a bus driver and cafeteria worker, I have had an inside view to the love, dedication, and hard work our educators contribute on behalf of students. This year has been especially difficulty as our teachers have had to balance instruction for both remote and in-person learners. The way they have done this gracefully throughout the year is very commendable. Our administrative team invites you to join us in showing appreciation for our faculty and staff.
As we celebrate all faculty and staff, we are pleased to announce our 2021 Teacher of the Year, Ms. Mary Lynn Ford. Ms. Ford teaches Advanced Biology, Advanced Chemistry, AP Chemistry and Test Prep. In addition, Ms. Ford serves as the Science Department Chair. Congratulations, Ms. Ford!
Seniors and senior parents: Included in this email are important dates for you. We have changed the format of our Academic Awards ceremony and Senior Night. This will be an in person event on Monday, May 24th at 6:00 pm. If you have not yet returned your graduation contract, please make sure you take care of that.
In addition, we invite you to join us on Thursday, May 27th at Denton Bible Church to celebrate the Class of 2021. Next Sunday we will celebrate all Mom's, Grandmothers, Aunts, and others who may serve in that highest regarded role of a Mother. We remember all of our Bobcat Mothers - they encourage us, nurture us, push us, and fight for us - they were our first teachers. Happy Mother's Day!
Congratulations to our Lady Cats on their sweep of the Bi-District Championship. We wish them the best of luck as they play Iowa Park at Bowie High School. Moreover, we wish all of our students that are taking an EOC or AP test this week the best of luck.
Go Bobcats!

¡Feliz sabado! Cuesta creer que May ya esté aquí. Las temperaturas más cálidas de la primavera son ciertamente bienvenidas. Al reflexionar sobre los últimos 14 meses, hemos recorrido un largo camino desde que COVID cerró nuestro país. Cuando regresamos en agosto, todos tenían muchas preguntas sobre la mejor manera de servir a nuestros estudiantes y personal. Este año ha desafiado a todas las partes interesadas a ser flexibles más allá de la imaginación. Hemos aprendido mucho a lo largo del camino y agradecemos su apoyo durante el proceso. Krum ISD envió una encuesta esta semana en busca de su opinión sobre cómo mejorar. Agradecemos a todos los que ya completaron la encuesta. Hay varias sugerencias pendientes que ya se han enviado y las tendremos en cuenta. Sabemos que el tiempo de todos es un bien valioso. Si tiene unos minutos, nos gustaría recopilar sus pensamientos. Aquí está el enlace a la encuesta: https://forms.gle/tGRmojdjCy2416i4A.
Mientras celebramos a toda la facultad y el personal, nos complace anunciar a nuestra Maestra del año 2021, la Sra. Mary Lynn Ford. La Sra. Ford enseña Biología Avanzada, Química Avanzada, Química AP y Preparación para Exámenes. Además, la Sra. Ford se desempeña como Directora del Departamento de Ciencias. ¡Felicitaciones, Sra. Ford!
Además, lo invitamos a unirse a nosotros el jueves 27 de mayo en la Iglesia Bíblica de Denton para celebrar la Clase del 2021. El próximo domingo celebraremos a todas las mamás, abuelas, tías y otras personas que puedan servir en ese papel más respetado de madre . Recordamos a todas nuestras Madres Bobcat - ellas nos animan, nos nutren, nos empujan y luchan por nosotros - fueron nuestras primeras maestras. ¡Feliz día de la madre!
Felicitaciones a nuestras Lady Cats por su barrida del Campeonato Bi-Distrito. Les deseamos mucha suerte mientras juegan en Iowa Park en Bowie High School. Además, deseamos mucha suerte a todos nuestros estudiantes que están tomando un examen EOC o AP esta semana. ¡
Van los linces!
