Ms. Wadley did an amazing job presenting at the 2025 Region 17 Texas Council of Women School Executives Empowerment Luncheon!!!! We are so proud to have her represent our school!

Our panelists, Dr. Kathy Kinnison Rollo, Dr. Lisa Ramirez and Dr. Julia Stephen shared from an extremely transparent, authentic and inspiring perspective! Not only was Ms. Wadley an excellent speaker, but Eric Patie Braden, Monique Garrett and Quali Metra were as well!!

Dr. Maya Angelou said it best, β€œEach time a woman stands up for herself, she is standing up for all women.”

Astronauts,
You can wear your Halloween costume tomorrow for $1! No blood, weapons, or inflatables will be allowed. In addition, all costumes must be school-appropriate. All of the money collected will go to the United Way! Thank you!

Astronauts! We are having a spirit week next week for United Way! Each day, you can pay $1 to participate in the fun or $4 for the whole week! All of the money collected will go to United Way, and we will welcome all donations for this great cause! We do want to remind all of our Astronauts that all of our spirit days must still be school appropriate and meet dress code.
