Today was a great day for members of the Roughneck Band at the Texas State Solo and Ensemble Contest! The judging at this contest is at an incredibly high level, so a 1st division is very hard to achieve. Nevertheless, the 25 students who qualified and competed in ensembles (and Lizzie Corley with a vocal solo!) are bringing home 9 State medals for achieving 1st division ratings today. We also had two ensembles that received a 2nd division and two that received a 3rd division, which is to be commended at this level! Congratulations to these Roughneck Band members: Konar Alaman Shea Beadles Allison Belew Justin Bush Brayden Carr Alex Chagoya Lizzie Corley Watson Evans Lincoln Keesler Alana Ledesma Danielle MacDonald Daniel Mauldin Daisy Mendez Makenzie Mulloy Serenity Mulloy Ericka Posadas Peyton Richardson Emily Rodgers Kassady Rodgers Mathias Salgado Landon Sehon Jaydith Shelton Ryder Stanley Meghan Stephens Adi Strickland

Mrs. Bobbie Terry's 8th Grade Leadership Class has created an Anti-Bullying Video!  They share great examples and provide a great narrative to discourage any type of bullying that our students may be involved in.  The goal of creating this video is to bring awareness to an issue that continues throughout schools all over the world.  These students did a great job with this video... from creating the idea, to capturing the moments, to having the vision for the video from start to finish!  We will miss this 8th Grade Class!  Good luck in High School! https://youtu.be/O-G7NwYQBUQ
