How great are these pop bottle biographies! Ms. Harris's third graders wrote four paragraphs after doing a lot of research on their chosen person - early life, adult life, education, accomplishments & achievements, and any other interesting facts or events. Then, they crafted their pop bottle to model that individual and presented to their class. Excellent work, third grade! Please visit our Facebook page for more photos.

Thank you to the Palo Pinto Retired Teachers Association for gifting our 1st, 3rd, and 5th grades with a book of their own and for helping foster a love of reading in our young minds. We enjoyed watching them pore over the numerous choices to select their favorite. Many students began reading before they even got back to their classroom! Please visit our Facebook page for more photos!

Don't forget! There will be a Booster Club meeting today at 4:00 PM, in the Strawn ISD Cafeteria. Everyone is welcome!

Last night, Strawn ISD staff had the privilege to listen to two wonderful speakers from Celina ISD. Nancy Alvarez & Jeanne Juneau spoke on work/life balance and maintaining a Professional Quality of Life. Staff learned the symptoms of compassion fatigue and how to utilize self care to repair and refill our "emotional tank"! Thank you to these lovely ladies for your words of encouragement and kindness!
