Spring Branch's 7th Annual Celebration of Sharing took place this morning at Memorial City Mall. As always, the event was an opportunity for the District to thank the many volunteers, partners, and donors who support our students.
You can see the program from today's event by clicking here, and the lengthy list of partners, volunteers, and donors is available here.
And best of all, if you couldn't make it, I took the videos below of the student performances by the Frostwood Choir and the Spring Woods High School Theater. As you will see from the videos, I am definitely not a professional. Enjoy!
Next Thursday, February 25, 2010, Spring Branch will celebrate the
tremendous contributions of its partners, donors, and volunteers with
the 7th Annual Celebration of Sharing. The event will take place at Memorial City Mall from 7:15a - 9:00a.
As
a member of the Volunteer Advisory Board since 2004, I have enjoyed
watching this event grow. Last year, over 650 people attended this
event.
If you are a District partner, donor, or volunteer, please
try to join us to celebrate your contributions to the success of our
students. You can RSVP by clicking the picture to the left or by following this link.
I once again had the opportunity to attend this year's FFA Show and Sale. As is the case every year, it is amazing to see the hard work by each student in the program. The auction was a big success, as described below.
Feb 6 - The 2010 FFA Show and Sale
is complete. Our students proudly showed their projects and bid
farewell to them as the weekend's events completed. The total receipts
for the sale was over $171,000. Congratulations to our students for
their hard work, and many thanks to the support and guidence of our
teachers Christy Capps and Vanessa Collier,
our Alumni Association, parents, community members, and the financial
support from our buyers.
On January 21, 2010, I had the honor of welcoming the students and experts to the District's first Dinner with the Experts. Thanks to our Community Relations Department and M.D. Anderson, as well as all those who made the Dinner a huge success.
The Jan. 21 dinner and roundtable discussion program drew about 80 of young women interested in science and medical careers to the Town and Country Norris Conference Center in Houston City Centre.
For the event, students were grouped at dinner tables for easygoing question-and-answer sessions with medical doctors, researchers and scientists from M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in the Medical Center.
Community Relations Officer Linda Buchman organized the first-time event. It was hosted by the Community Relations Department in partnership with women doctors, researchers, professors and scientists from the cancer hospital and top-rated research facility. The program concept was conceived by the department’s Partners in Education (PIE) Advisory Board.
Keynote speaker was Dr. Carmen Escalante of M.D. Anderson, the professor and chair of general internal medicine, ambulatory treatment and emergency care. At each table, these working professionals shared personal career insights and their schooling, experiences and pathways into particular medical, science or research fields.
Numerous studies continue to show that men in science- and medical-related careers still far outnumber women. According to National Science Foundation data, women make up about 26 percent of the nation’s scientists and engineers.

We are thrilled to announce that our tennis coach, Coach Frazee, who is celebrating his 25th anniversary with SBISD (23 of these at Stratford), has just been named 2008-2009 Class 5A Coach of the Year by the Texas Tennis Coaches Association. We have always known that Coach Frazee is the best of the best, and are so excited that the TTCA has recognized his dedication to the sport, our athletes, and our school. Coach Frazee has always been the cornerstone of the tennis program’s “Tradition of Excellence.” To paraphrase Coach Frazee, “winning is fun, but there is a lot more to a successful team than what is indicated in the score.” CONGRATULATIONS COACH FRAZEE!!!

themselves when they took part in the performing arts.
Each week FOX 26 Morning News will present a high school musical in the Houston area.
