What an amazing day it was for THIS Dragon! All of my 5th grade friends showed up and cheered for SFA and "After High School Comes College". The NISD 5th grade Dragons all filled out commitment 2020 cards pledging to continue their education AFTER they graduate from high school. That is too too great!!
All I can say to my 5th grade Dragon friends is WOW! I am one proud Dragon today. So many people said how very good you all were (duh, of course), and how impressed they were by you and all those adults that came with you (duh, of course). Even the MAYOR came to see yall today, you must be something pretty special!!
I hope that you all have a great Thanksgiving break!

A BIG week ahead!
What a big week this is going to be for my friends at Nac ISD. Tomorrow ALL of the 8th graders at BOTH middle schools will be going to the SFA Coliseum for a HUGE career fair. There will be many different visitors representing the Nacogdoches area businesses. They will visit with students about the work that they do and what education it takes to do so. This event is sponsored by the Nacogdoches Chamber and Generation TX.
Then on Friday ALL of the 5th graders in the district from ALL of the elementary schools will be going to the SFA Coliseum for the After High School Comes College event. It will be so neat to see all of the students in their SFA shirts, and they will all be committing that they will continue their education after they graduate from high school. To Duke, this is like an early Christmas. Can you believe it...over 450 5th graders talking about college and their future!! WOO-HOO is all I can say!
So my college vocabulary word for this week was going to be BOOKS (you know those things you have to buy in college that are really really expensive, AND you have to read them too) for the letter "B", but because of all these great things happening I think it should be BELIEVE! Believe that you are meant for great things, and believe that you are going to continue your education after high school, and believe that you are responsible for your success, believe that you can do it!
