I hope you are enjoying this beautiful February weather! I have had a busy two weeks since the last newsletter. I spent time at Holland Medical High School and learned about all of the health science-related programs we offer there. I also visited The LIFT and ATEMS to see the many career and technical education opportunities there. And I have been to several elementary and middle schools and witnessed great teaching going on in our classrooms. Finally, I met with our Super Crew high school students at the newly renovated Shotwell Stadium. I always enjoy engaging with students and hearing about their future plans and dreams.

Finally, just one more reminder to VOTE! Early voting is underway until March 1. I would love for people to see that AISD employees vote in every election in LARGE numbers. Learn about the candidates, especially those in the Texas House and Senate races. Those are the elected officials who make laws that affect public education. Please find time during your conference, lunch, or after school to go and VOTE! Have a great weekend!
