Destination Imagination Competition
Chavez students participated in the Destination Imagination Competition this past weekend at Flower Mound Marcus High School in Lewisville. Chavez had two teams participating for the very first time. We are very proud of the great performances both teams put together. Their efforts were a culmination of months of preparation after school. We are anticipating more teams participating next year.
The Destination Imagination program is a fun, hands-on system of learning that fosters students’ creativity, courage and curiosity through open-ended academic Challenges in the fields of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), fine arts and service learning.A big thank you to all of our parents who put in all of those long hours to get their teams ready.

TEACHER OF THE WEEK--Tina Trimble- First Grade Teacher
Hi! My name is Mrs. Trimble and I teach 1st grade at Chavez! This is my 14th year teaching. All of my teaching experience is in Little Elm. I have taught Kindergarten and First Grade. I love to see the growth the students have in first grade. I grew up in Chicago, Illinois and lived there until I finished High school. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Education from University of North Texas. My husband and oldest daughter also graduated from this University. My husband Jeff and I have been married for 20 years. I am very proud to say I have six children. Melissa is married and is a kindergarten teacher in Plano. Amy and Nick attend Little Elm High School. Amy is a cheerleader and Nick runs cross country. Emily is at Lakeside this year and loves basketball. William and Holly are at Chavez, Holly is in 4th grade and William is in Kindergarten. I also have a grandbaby named Tucker who is 11 months old.
