We Read Together Speaking Tour
In February students had the opportunity to listen to Cassandra and Matthew speak about literacy and lifelong learning. Cassandra spoke about their own discovery of the joy and benefits of reading along with global awareness of the importance of being able to read. A selected group of students then worked with them in an interactive workshop. The workshop included team building skills along with leadership skills. The students then developed an action plan to build awareness of mental illness and how it will be addressed.

Rock Star Students
During the week of February 25 STAAR simulations were conducted for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. Two students stood out in their progress. Arturo and Luis (7th grade Partners students) rocked the reading test. They performed so well that administration decided to place them in 8th grade for the rest of the year so that they get the opportunity to go to high school next year.
