End of the Six Weeks
This Friday officially marks the end of the 1st Six Weeks. While the transition from middle to high school is often difficult, students have done well for the most part. Tutorials are available for those needing it (schedule is provided below). Additionally, the coaches are supporting students academic endeavors by starting practice after tutorials.
Students need to ensure that they obtain grades that are above a 70 to continue participating in any school sanctioned activity.

Interact Members
Our Interact Club partnered with Brownsville Animal Defense. Once a month, our members are responsible for helping dogs find their forever homes.
Interact teaches a valuable lesson in servant leadership.

Starting this week, yoga will be offered twice a week to students. Classes will be Tuesday and Thursdays from 7:30-8:15. I invite students to bring a mat, water bottle and join in on this great workout.

Mrs. Linda Tolman
My name is Mrs. Tolman and I am the 9th Grade AVID teacher. I come from a family of educators who firmly believed that an education never ends.
During the summer of 2021, I was certified as a Yoga Instructor with Breathe for Change. A program that is designed to create Social Emotional Learning Facilitators and teaches how to guide trauma informed yoga. We have successfully been able to bring yoga into our campus and currently offer five yoga classes before and after school. It has been amazing to see the practice come to fruition on our campus. During the 2021-2022 school year I served as a Teach Plus intern, where I had the opportunity to co-author a request for Texas Policy Change.
I have completed my Masters of Science Education in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment, along with the Integrated Leadership Principal Preparation Program.
