Aldine Connection
A Newsletter for the Staff and Community of Aldine ISD
Message From the Superintendent - March 6, 2025
Dear Aldine Community,
You know my favorite way to kick things off is with some good news. This past Sunday, my husband Joseph, who recently turned 50, set a goal to run the 400-meter dash in under one minute at the Berlin Bradford Stadium in Coldspring, Texas. Joseph channeled his inner 1993 District champion, when he ran the 400 in 49 seconds.
His former coaches were there as the official starter and timer, along with friends and family to cheer him on. Although he didn’t hit his goal time of 53 seconds, he put in the time and effort to reach a goal and accomplish something he set out to do (he finished in 55 seconds — not bad for a 50- year- old!). I’m so proud of him, and I recommend we all step out of our comfort zones and set meaningful goals.
Month of March Observances
