To the teachers of HEB ISD,

Thank you for your persistence in shaping the future decision-makers in your classrooms. You never knew what the next day would bring and you balanced helping the students in your classroom, all while taking care of your own loved ones.

Canvas was a learning curve, and as future college students, we know it won’t go away anytime soon. Your aptitude for learning weeks’ worth of material in days to prepare for a year like no other has culminated in the successful conclusion of the 2020-2021 school year. It is one we certainly won’t forget!

We would be remiss not to acknowledge those we lost this past year. Please take a moment to reflect on those who couldn’t join us today. Whether it was a student, a family member, or a staff member; keep them in your thoughts as we celebrate new hope for days ahead.

As we reflect on the end of our education with HEB ISD, we look forward to the new experiences ahead of us. We thank everyone who helped us reach the aspirations we never thought possible. Thank you for letting us share our experiences with you and highlighting student voices in the HEB ISD Greenlight. We are so indebted to this district and the change-makers who uplifted our voices.

Congratulations to our fellow students and families who will be celebrating a 2021 senior this May. We hope to see you at our respective graduation ceremonies!

Best Regards,

Gabriela Royer, L.D. Bell Class of 2021 President
