Quote of the Week
--You define your own life. Don't let other people write your script.
Yesterday, 6 of our amazing student young ladies, Ms. Trahan (Crossroads), Ms. Green (district office) and Ms. Gomez (Copperas Cove High School) attended The Girls Empowerment Conference at Region 12.
We couldn’t be prouder of how they represented our schools.
We were greeted with so much love and enthusiasm from the moment we arrived. The girls listened to powerful speakers, engaged in uplifting activities, connected with other young ladies, and courageously volunteered to present their project to all of the attendees.
And as if the day couldn’t get any better—they were the first table to win raffle prizes and walked away with two BINGO wins!

Just a reminder, the CCISD Board of Trustees approved a policy regarding cell phones and other personal communication devices, in alignment with House Bill 1481. We are encouraging students to put their devices "Away for the Day," to focus on learning. As we approach spring break we would like to remind everyone of the law pertaining to cell phones on campus.
