Hello Razorbacks,
I am still smiling after last night’s incredible STEAM Night! From slime to snakes and robots to rocks, there wasn’t a dull moment! Razorbacks past, present, and future had a blast exploring science, technology, engineering, and math. But we also know how to put the A in STEAM! Our arts programs blew me away with their talent. There is nothing better than seeing our kids excel as dancers, scientists, athletes, volunteers, inquirers, and so much more. We have missed this event so much and I’m thrilled that the PTA brought it back to our community. Thank you to all the planners, volunteers, and presenters who made it possible.

Staff and Student of the Week! | |
|
Our Staff
of the week is Coach Brown!
IB trait is Caring.
All of my favorite memories come from my students or athletes finding success in whatever they are doing.
I was born in Houston, TX, have three kids Ky'Lee 13, Kade 10, and Bella who is 3. I played college basketball in Oklahoma and now I'm doing what I love and that's coaching and giving back to the youth.
My hobbies are playing basketball, video games and watching sports. If I'm not doing that, I'm spending time with my kids.

Our Student of the week is Jazmin Campos!
She relates to the IB trait of caring. She helps her friends who are upset and need someone to talk to, she likes them to know that she is always there to lend an ear.
Her favorite memories at Hogg have to be going to games and showing support for our Razorbacks and hanging out with her friends.
Her favorite thing to do when she isn't busy with her school work is listening to music. She said she likes everything and country only a tiny bit.
She did share that she is proud of the fact that she has grown as a person this year. She wants people to know that when and if you're struggling, to just keep going, try your best and ask for help.
