May 21st - May 26th
Hello Lopez Families,
Long week of STAAR! I am glad we can finally get back to some normalcy and focus on what we are supposed to. Now is as important a time as any to remind everyone the need to finish strong. I will be reminding teachers as well as students to find that motivation to finish the year on a good note. This means academics and behavior. Sometimes people feel that because the STAAR is over, they are done with anything important for the year. Remember that our main purpose is not for state testing, so many other things go on that benefit our students.
This is going to sound contradictory to the first paragraph, but we had a great time at the faculty vs 8th grade basketball game and the 8th grade party! Seriously though, we still need to take time for celebration, camaraderie, and fun. That is still part of the bigger picture.
In continuation of the Leader In Me, if you haven't already done so, please follow the link to complete a survey that will help us make Lopez a better place. Your feedback is always appreciated.
Speaking of Leader In Me...Santiago Tovar won the Leader and Me International Student Speech contest. Absolutely awesome! Click here for article
Also, one of our young artists, Donte Manuel, won the Best Frame Up contest which means his work will be on display at the NEISD central office all next year. His work is below, I love it! Great job Donte!
One last thing. Bush Middle School is celebrating their 20 year anniversary on May 25th. They asked us to send out the information in case some of our students had older siblings that might have gone to Bush and would be interested in attending. See flyer at the bottom of the page.
Have a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Mr. Wernli

Synergy - Working together
By synergizing, we learn to value each other’s differences and celebrate our diversities. We are all different, and we are all good at different things. We must celebrate the ways that we are different and honor the greatness in each of us, as we are all special in our own way.
