Happy Monday Panthers!!!

Here is the link to this week's episode of Panther News. This week we feature a look at college night, the blood drive, and an interview with Mme. Hudson. Check it out for more information on upcoming choir and theatre events.

Tuesday the 24th is picture day at IM Terrell. Students will be taking their photos during their Humanities classes. Please help remind your students to come dressed for their yearbook picture. We will be taking cap and gown, tux/drapes, and street wear photos for the seniors. We have two sizes of white button downs, XL and M. Please feel free to bring your own white button downs. We will supply jackets and ties. For the drape photo, we ask that students bring a tank top. Below is a preview of what the drape photo looks like.

Hey Panther family! Come on out and celebrate with us at the Hispanic/Latin X Festival on Friday, September 27, 2024 from 3:45 PM - 5:30 PM. There will be plenty of food, cultural dances, vendors, and more. Scan the QR Code to add songs to the playlist.

Fridays only!!!

Dear Panther Family,

This weekend, 52 Terrell Choir members competed in Round 1 of the Texas All-State Choir Auditions at Alvarado HS. All of these students have grown tremendously through their preparations, and I am so proud of each and every one of them!

Celebrations are in order because we have TWENTY SINGERS advancing to Round 2 Auditions in November. TEN ADDITIONAL SINGERS were also named to the Region Treble Choir.

When you see these singers, please congratulate them for placing in the Region Choirs!

Students were split into different rooms for auditions, which is why you see duplicate chair rankings below.
