📚 Mystery Reader at Frost Elementary 📚

I had such a wonderful time visiting Ms. Congram’s Kindergarten class as a Mystery Reader! The students were so engaged, and their excitement made story time extra special.

Thank You to the amazing librarian Shae Collins, for organizing this experience for the kids. Librarians don’t get enough love, and Shae deserves all the appreciation for creating such a fun opportunity for our students!

I’m grateful for the invitation to be part of it. 🩵✈️

Foster High School-Richmond, Texas brought the energy tonight at Meet the Falcons… when you kick things off with “Back in Black,” you know it’s going to be a good night! 🙌🏼

Coach Hanks kept the energy going as emcee, the Foster Flairs Drill Team put on an awesome performance, Cheer kept the crowd hyped, and of course… is it even a school event without the drumline?! 🥁 Percussion brought the rhythm and made sure everyone felt that Falcon spirit! Prinicpal Wood reminded everyone that Foster is the Gold Standard…right down to the shoes!! ✨👟💛

I absolutely love nights like this… seeing our students representing their teams, surrounded by their coaches, parents and families who show up for them and make all of this possible… that’s what it’s all about.

The fall season is officially here and these Falcons are ready to Protect the Nest!!

🖤🦅💛 GO FALCONS! 🖤🦅💛

This year is even more special as Tomas celebrates its first senior class 🎓 and another big chapter in Gator history.

💚 The Swamp was ALIVE tonight! Go Gators! 💚
