The Warrior Watch

For the past several years, my immediate family plays a 'game' when the NFL playoffs begin. We predict the winners of each game and earn points when we predict correctly.

I had been leading and going into the Super Bowl I was winning - much to my families dismay; some even accused me of 'cheating'! Unless I can tell the future, I am really not sure how I could cheat....I gave my predictions before each game started like everyone else.

I always did my research - seeing what Caesar's Palace and ESPN analysts were saying. Then a few times I would go opposite what a family member predicted hoping it would pay off and it usually did!

I share this to say - a lot of people believe there are winners and losers in things, games or life events. I think that is too narrow a focus. I like to think that when I have 'lost' I have also grown and will perform better, think better or act better in the future. And by the same token, just because I have 'won' does not mean I am done - a winner must keep working hard to recreate their win.

With kids, there is definitely no winning and losing - but a battle each and every day to ensure they are growing both educationally and personally.

Last Saturday, 18 choir students traveled to Plano to compete.

Eleven students performed a Class 1 solo (the most difficult) and scored a Division 1 rating (Superior) and have advanced to the State Competition in May.

They are Victoria Moya, Raquel Moya, Tanyaradzwa Thomason, Abigail McFarland, Justin Faz, Rylan Lincecum, James Brown, Aubrey Townsend, Gale Hughes, Cesli Crum and Emilia Strauss.

Last Monday night, a facility meeting was held in the Board Room. Sixteen people were in attendance – 14 of which were new members.

This committee reached the same conclusion as the first and will be asking the Board of Trustees to consider calling a May 2023 Bond Election at the Special Meeting on Wednesday.

If called by the Board, the original and newer facility committees will begin working together as a PAC (Political Action Committee) in support of passing the bond.
