Aldine Connection
A Newsletter for the Staff and Community of Aldine ISD
Dear Aldine ISD Family,
Love is in the air! Especially at the 66th Annual FFA Livestock and Student Art Show, where Dr. Adrian Bustillos puckered up and kissed a pig, all for a good cause. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Aldine ISD community for your unwavering support and contributions. Thanks to the Superintendent’s Buyers Club, we raised and contributed over $35,000 toward scholarships for our talented FFA and arts students. This year’s event was a tremendous success, with your pledges and contributions totaling an incredible $209,815 to support students and their projects — $45,000 more than last year’s show! All proceeds go directly back to the students, helping them further their education or fund projects for next year’s auction. On another note, I will celebrate 27 years of marriage to Joseph Goffney this Valentine’s Day. As many of you know, I’m the wife of a pastor, but I’m also the wife of a very supportive and loving husband. Cheers to many more years!
Check out the incredible talent of RodeoHouston® School Art Contest award recipients. Their artwork earned well-deserved recognition at our recent Visual Arts Reception. Art has the power to tell stories, and our students’ creativity continues to shine brightly.
February also marks the beginning of Black History Month, and we invite everyone to celebrate the community’s rich culture, history, and contributions, past and present, like our recently named 50 HAABSE Campus Teachers of the Year. From themed dress days to our Black Excellence Expo on Saturday, Feb. 8, and campus-based events, we have numerous opportunities to honor and embrace the spirit of Black history and excellence. I encourage you all to take part, learn, and celebrate together.
