The eighth grade students have had a very exciting time since the last newsletter.
First, all congratulations to students and Mrs. Weaver for an outstanding 88% pass rate and numerous commendable performances on the TAKS reading exam. The students recently took the Mathematics exam and we are looking forward to similar success.
We attended a live theater production at the Convention Center followed by a guided tour of the Alamo. It was a great Field Trip and some of our students experienced their first live stage production. The eighth graders also sponsored the Spring Fling dance which was enjoyed by many 5th-8th graders. The end of the year is fast approaching and information about the eighth grade field trip and end of year celebration will be coming home to you soon.
