It was so good to see our students and staff back at school. I was blessed to be able to visit our campuses on the first day of school, and we could not have asked for a better start. While this year might seem different, seeing our students interacting with our staff was a welcomed sight. In Malakoff ISD, we are blessed with incredible students and staff members that will go above and beyond for kids.
I was able to watch football scrimmages, volleyball games, and the cross country teams run this week. I have missed watching our Tigers compete. While this year started differently, our expectations for what our students can achieve have not changed. I can’t wait to see what these young ladies and men accomplish this year. If last year taught us anything, don’t take a game or event for granted, enjoy the moment and this year.
I usually give a “shout out” to different departments or individuals in my news updates. The last few weeks, I have watched all of the campuses and various departments prepare for students. I have been nothing but impressed with how everyone has worked to have our schools back open. Truly, all of you, including students and parents, should be applauded. I know this will be a great year and I look forward to visiting with all of you.
I also want to remind everyone to take care of each other. Wash your hands, social distance, and wear your mask. Please take the time to fill out the questionnaire at the start of each week. If you are sick, stay home. We can and will be safe for each other. This will be a great year, and it is always a great day to be a Tiger!
