Hello Lopez Families,
STAAR testing is finally over and it went pretty smooth. There is a lot of pressure for the kids and the school, but it was handled by both very well. Some students are asking if we are showing movies the rest of the year, so please tell them no. We still have more to teach. What we provide here is so much more than what a few tests in May can show.
To cap off the week though, we had a Faculty vs 8th Grade basketball game Friday at the end of the day. A team of teachers, including myself, took on the boys and girls A-teams with proceeds going to the American Heart Association. We had a great turn-out and had an absolutely great time. Thanks to all who participated. It was a great way to relieve the testing tension!
