TEXAS DAY:
The wranglers have some delicious chili recipes selected for our annual chili cook-off next week. Please send in all nonperishable items on Monday. If you are sending in a kitchen utensil, please label it so it can be returned to you. All perishable items need to come to school on Thursday. All meat and beans need to be cooked, and all veggies need to be chopped.
FAMOUS TEXANS:
Students received information about the Famous Texans project on Thursday. All research is to be complete by Friday, May 4th, and the final product is due Thursday, May 10th. The above photo is an example (Neil Armstrong needs arms and legs :-).
