PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Last Monday I took two of our students to give the invocation and recite the pledge at the NEISD Board Meeting. Carson Green and Kiki Lopez-Morelli, pictured below, were great and represented Lopez with honor. That same night our orchestra and band performed the national anthem at the Spurs game. Everyone who heard them said they sounded incredible. I knew they would make us proud.
I enjoyed seeing all the 8th grade parents up at Reagan Tuesday night for the parent meeting. There was really good information shared and if you missed it, please go to their website to stay up to date.
Wednesday night I watched our 7th grade boys beat Harris in basketball. They continue to impress me with their skills and attitude. Right now our 7th and 8th grade boys are really on a roll.
Thursday night I went to the girls 8th grade basketball game versus Bradley. Although we did not come out on top, we fought hard all the way to the end against a really great team. I am proud of how they never gave up.
Have a wonderful long weekend!

LOPEZ PANTHERS LEAD, SERVE AND INSPIRE
“At any given moment you have the POWER to say this is NOT how the story is going to END.”
How does this relate to teens and how can they apply this quote to their own lives? How can you the adult use the meaning of this quote?
Plan ahead and start a path for the future. Write your goal. Plan each week what you specifically need to achieve to accomplish the goal you set. Great minds, athletes, scientist, artists, musicians, parents, doctors, teachers set their mind on something and have a plan of action. So if it’s a college decision, career change, a game/competition, a relationship with your family or friends or starting a blog, the time will never be right. The time is NOW. Yes, it can be an uncomfortable feeling and , there may be risks in getting started. But the risk of not starting is greater. The time is now. Once you write your goal choose an accountability partner, someone that will help keep you stay on track.

10th Annual Ian's Cup
Ian's Foundation was formed in memory of Ian Fincke who tragically passed away at the age of 16, in October of 2008 as the result of fatal wounds sustained during a skateboarding accident. Ian was a previous student at Hardy Oak Elementary, Barbara Bush Middle School and both Reagan and Johnson High Schools. The foundation was formed to advance the safety and welfare of San Antonio youth through education and scholarship awards. To date almost $50,000 in scholarships has been awarded. Ian's Foundation also promotes helmet safety and has given out over 1,450 helmets in San Antonio and the surrounding areas. Ian's Foundation also supports STRAPS (South Texas Regional and Paralympic Sports). STRAPS was inspired by Ian's Foundation as a way to allow anyone in San Antonio with physical disabilities the opportunity to enjoy the game of soccer. You can read more about the foundation at www.IansFoundation.org.
We will be offering our annual spring soccer clinic for the San Antonio youth as one of our major fundraisers for the Ian's Cup scholarship fund. The clinic will be held on Sunday, February 17th at the Mays YMCA from 2-4PM (with registration from 1:30-2:00) The cost of the clinic is $30 if pre-registered and $35 the day of the clinic. It will include a 2hr clinic as well as a 2019 Ian's Cup t-shirt. The deadline for t-shirt pre-orders and pre-registration for the soccer clinic to ensure a 2019 Ian's Cup t-shirt the day of the clinic is Sunday, February 10th. Trainers will include local high school coaches, club trainers and high school soccer players from Johnson and Reagan, as they must volunteer at one of the foundation's community service events to be eligible for a scholarship. This year's soccer clinic falls on what would have been Ian's 27th birthday. You can help make this the most memorable Ian's Cup Clinic to date with an amazing birthday celebration in his memory. Register today! You can read more about the events at www.IansCup.org.
