Wrangler Weekly
Week of February 2, 2025
Message from Mrs. Bratton, principal
There goes January! 💙
Our PTA has been hard at work with their fundraiser that ends with Color Games on Feb. 7. We appreciate their dedication to bringing special programs to campus for all students and supporting teachers. See below for more information.
Two brag-worthy items:
- Ms. Flanagan and Ms. Faitala's students are participating in a national contest/challenge through their reading class. With their students'' Herculean efforts, they are currently #8 out of over 500 schools IN THE ENTIRE USA! We are all pulling for them to push on through the end of the contest which wraps up in March. We cannot wait to celebrate their success and see how high they rise!
- Two of our creative and bold artists who participated in the PTA Reflections contest this fall have been selected by Comal ISD District PTA to move on to STATE! Congratulations to Isabella Joers for her video production and Lily Alvarez for her visual art work. We are SO proud of these Wranglers and can't wait to see the results of their state-level competition!
This is the last week for students to submit their course requests for next year. Later in February, parents will receive information to approve their student's courses. All of this "early" decision making is to help ensure we have the staffing to meet students' needs. Thank you for going into SchooLinks to help your student verify their choices by Feb. 7.
If you have any questions regarding SchooLinks, please reach out to your student's counselor.
With Wrangler Pride,
Mrs. Bratton
