📚 40 BOOK CHALLENGE COMPLETE! 📚
A BIG congratulations to Timber Vance for completing her 40 Book Challenge on the very last day of the 1st Six Weeks! 🎉👏
The goal of the 40 Book Challenge is about much more than reaching a number. Students are encouraged to finish complete books, explore a variety of genres, build reading stamina, and discover what they enjoy as readers. Research consistently shows that the more students read, the stronger they become in vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and overall reading ability.
Timber accepted the challenge and got to work—40 complete books in just six weeks! 📖 What an accomplishment and an incredible start to her 5th-grade reading year!
Way to go, Timber! Keep turning those pages! 🌟

🍎🍏 Johnny Appleseed 🍏🍎
Johnny Appleseed visited our library and read a story to our elementary students! We truly appreciate Mason Monday for filling the role of Johnny Appleseed and Ari Castillo for helping make the day so special. We also want to give a big thank-you to Mrs. Weems and her 6th-grade art class for helping us set up and decorate!
It was such a fun experience, but it wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing students! We loved seeing all their excitement and smiles! 🍎📚

Events for September 21 - 27, 2026!
Students discover that English isn’t just something they use in school—it’s a workplace skill. Students turn words into purposeful communication, using audience, tone, rhetoric, design, and technology to create a professional product with real-world purpose. Two groups used the new Cricut to design T-shirts for their projects. This lesson connected to the Texas Workforce Commission's summer externship that Ms. McClellan attended, and the Cricut was bought with the grant she received.
Dear Bulldog Families,
We have had an extremely successful first six weeks of school! It has been an absolute joy having our students back on campus and watching them dive into the new school year.
As the first grading period comes to a close, we want to share a few important reminders to help keep our campus running smoothly and safely:

Option 2 (High School): Enter via Bulldog Drive and exit using Tiby Lane.
Note: We understand there can be a wait, but using alternate locations creates chaos and unsafe conditions. The safety and well-being of our students is our number one priority.
⏰ School Start Time & Tardies: School begins promptly at 7:45 AM. Any student arriving after 7:45 AM must be accompanied into the front office by a parent or guardian to sign in. This entrance is locked and not available until after 7:45 AM unless you have an appointment or prior arrangement.
