From: Mike Read
Subject: A Busy Time!
Many positive things are happening here at FISD! Staff and the majority of students continue to work hard to be the best they can be! Our students are lining up today to take the ELA portion of the TAKS test. I feel very confident our teachers have prepared all of our students and I am looking forward to see how we fare overall. Make sure to come on by or give me a call if you ever have questions or concerns!
- Congratulations to Brooke Hall and Kayla Cullison on advancing to the State CX meetwhich will be held during our spring break in Austin. Good job ladies and Angela!
- Congratulations to the Lady Blue and Steer basketball teams as they made it all the way to the Regional Quarterfinals. They represented Farwell well and we are proud of our kids and coaches.
- Congratulations to the Solo & Ensemble team that advanced to Austin later on in June.
- Ensemble members advancing to state are: Baritone Quartet, Percussion Ensemble and the Woodwind Choir. Good job Mr. Shelly, Mr. Orozco and Mr. Barnard.
- The Farwell Relays will be held on Friday of this week. Field events are set to begin at 1:00 p.m. The 3200 meter run is set for 1:30 p.m. and all of the running events should begin around 4:00-4:30. I encourage you to come out and support our kids!
- The HS UIL literary and One Act Play company and crew have been working diligently in regards to their upcoming events. The Zone OAP is scheduled on Monday, March 22 in Sudan, Texas. The District OAP is set for Saturday, March 27 in Hale Center, Texas. I will post a schedule as soon as we receive one! The District UIL literary meet is schedule on Tuesday, March 30 in Lockney while day # 2 will be on April 1 in Sudan. Again, I will post schedules as they become available. Good Luck to all teams!
- A number of our kids have been doing extremely well in the major stock shows. Congratulations to all of our participants who put in lots of hours preparing their animal(s) for the shows. I would like to also thank Tomee England for all of her hard work for FISD.
- The Legends in Blue will be performing in the UIL Band Concert and Sight Reading Contest on Thursday, April 15 in Sudan, Texas. Come out and support these outstanding young musicians.
- Our elementary, JH, and HS held a fund raiser to help out various families within the community. I am proud to announce our kids raised more than $ 1,500.00. I feel it is extremely important to help our neighbors when such a need arises. A special “thanks” to all of the teachers, parents and administrators for making this possible.
- All of our sports schedules for the spring are currently being put on our website. I certainly encourage you to visit: www.farwellschools.org to see what is going on at Farwell schools!
As representative of Farwell FFA I would like to take this opportunity to express a huge thank you to the communities of Farwell and Texico for the tremendous support given to the Texico/Farwell FFA chapters at their annual community auction held last Monday evening. The event raised $31,780 which set a new record of donations. Your support of our youth is greatly appreciated.
I would remind you that your children will be dismissed at regular time on Friday, March 12th for Spring Break. We will return on Monday, March 22nd on our regular schedule.
Thanks! |
