I have been in touch with Representative Fairly’s office multiple times recently related to proposed legislation. I want to thank her, and her staff, for the responses I have received. I have received phone calls, as well as emails, back from her staff each time I have contacted her office. These conversations and emails have always been professional, courteous and friendly. While her office and I may disagree on some issues, I am very happy to have a representative in Austin who cares enough to call/email back and have a conversation about the different legislative issues. I share this for a couple of reasons. First, I think it is important to know that the individual representing Stratford, in Austin, cares enough to respond to questions and concerns. Secondly, I encourage you to contact her office related to issues that are important to you. It is difficult for those in Austin to know how each piece of proposed legislation will impact the different communities they represent. I am so appreciative of Representative Fairly, and her staff, for how they have responded to me and I wanted to share this with each of you.
Our OAP competed this afternoon, but we have not yet received the results. I am proud of the cast and crew for the work that they have put in. These students started working on this performance back in the fall, and it was great to see the fruits of their labor this afternoon. Thank you to Mrs. Metcalf, Mrs. Hudson, Mrs. Graham and Mr. du Plessis for all of their hard work to ensure that our students had the best opportunity to succeed.
Bryce Braden qualified for the Texas Relays that will be held in Austin later this week. Bryce had to qualify for this event as there are only 24 throwers, from all across Texas, who will be competing at this event. Bryce currently sits 9th, in Texas, and this includes all classifications of schools (1A-6A) Congratulations to Bryce, as well as this throwing coach (Coach Casey Lantelme).
Good luck to our SHS students who be competing this week (Wednesday) at the UIL Academic meet. We will also have students competing at Sunray Thursday (high school track), Canyon Friday (CDE) and back in Sunray Saturday (junior high track). Good luck to all of these students as well. As our students are busy competing, it is a great time to thank those who transport our students to all of these different activities. It is a tremendous responsibility to transport students and I am thankful for each one of our staff members who accepts this responsibility. Have a great week.
