Spirit of Prudential Finalist
Bhavna Reddy
Congratulations to 7th Grader, Bhavna Reddy. Reddy was one of 10 Texas students recently recognized as a Distinguished Finalists in The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program. Her volunteer service includes raising money to provide female hygiene products and hygiene management workshops for girls in India. She is also an active member of the leadership program with the Save The Child Foundation and collected/delivered school supplies and clothing to orphanages in India.
The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards represents the United States' largest youth recognition program based solely on volunteer service. All public and private middle level and high schools in the country, as well as all Girl Scout councils, county 4-H organizations, American Red Cross chapters, YMCAs and affiliates of Points of Light's Hands On Network, were eligible to select a student or member for a local Prudential Spirit of Community Award. These Local Honorees were then reviewed by an independent judging panel, which selected State Honorees and Distinguished Finalists based on criteria including personal initiative, effort, impact and personal growth.

Cell Phone Use in School Zones
 State of Texas traffic laws are enforceable in school zones as well. Please remember to be hands free while on the phone this includes texting.
If you have complaints or concerns, please contact Officer Roberson 817-949-5414.
Traffic
There have been several complaints about vehicles turning in front of waiting vehicles on Kirkwood Blvd. before or after school.
The far right lane must continue straight and not turn in front of vehicles waiting to the left trying to turn to get into the drop off / pick up line.
Remember from drivers ed - two lines that intersect have a point of impact. Officers will be issuing citations for this violation.
If you are needing to park in the parking lot you must either wait or turn in the parking lot from the east side traveling west.
Any questions on this please contact Officer Roberson 817-949-5414
Laptop Covers
We still have hard-shell laptop covers (green only) available for purchase for $20.
Please see Mrs. Gulliver or Mrs. Brett in the front office to purchase one.
