December 2021
Greetings Northshore Family,

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving Holiday!! November was a wonderful month for our scholars, teachers, and parents. We had a great Science Fair, Veterans Day Celebration, Thanksgiving Luncheon, and Anti-Bullying Week.
December is going to be a great month for Rhodes School for the Performing Arts! Our Fine Arts Department and scholars have been working diligently to put on our infamous Christmas Production. This year, our Kinder-5th grade scholars will be performing “Willy Wonka Jr.”. It is sure to be a special treat! The Pre-K scholars will have their very own Christmas program.

Our campus goal is to continue to work toward building literacy, math, and science skills with our scholars. Please continue to help support our teachers by ensuring your scholars are completing homework, reading nightly, and studying to improve in all areas.

School attendance matters! In an effort to promote perfect attendance, we have a building competition going. The first class to spell out “PERFECT ATTENDANCE” wins a pizza party and a free dress pass for a week!

This is a very sentimental time for me. Many of you have already heard that I am retiring after 31 years in education. Being your principal for the past 3 years has been the most rewarding job of my career. I have grown to love my staff, parents, and every scholar in my charge. I appreciate all of the love and support I received as I battled breast cancer. We have been through a lot together. We made it through two moves, COVID-19, floods, and a brutal winter storm. I will forever cherish every special moment that we spent together. We started as stakeholders and ended as friends and family. I am beginning a new journey but you guys will always be a part of my life.  

I’d like to welcome Ms. Lakesha Winslow. We’ve worked together for 2 years. She is an amazing educator who will continue to put educational excellence first. I look forward to watching our scholars grow and flourish under her leadership. Before we know it, the holiday break in December will be upon us. I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season!

Educationally yours,
Tonya McBride, M.Ed.
Principal
Hello, Rhodes School Parents and Scholars!

It is my esteemed pleasure to be the Interim Principal here at the Northshore Campus. I am going to do my very best to keep the climate and culture that Mrs. McBride had in place going, as a school with a strong sense of pride and joy. 

I am in my 20th year of service and my 2nd year as an Administrator. I have been in a leadership role for the past 11 years. I have served students in several surrounding districts in the Houston Area. I am a wife of 25 years and a mother of 4. I am also a grandmother! I have a true passion for education and the well-being of our scholars. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you. Let’s continue to make it a GREAT school year!  

Lakesha Winslow, M. Ed.
