Montgomery ISD Campus News December 17 – December 23, 2014 2014-2015 School Year *About MISD* Lone Star Elementary by: Andrea Terna Last week we continued our 12 Days of Christmas countdown. There were many special treats and surprises every day to make it all the more fun….from “melted snowmen” aka bottled water to our PTA showering us with a cookie platter for each teacher to take home and share. Restoration Church even catered a full meal with turkey and ham and all the fixings that accompany a delightful holiday meal! The LSE Singing Stars also graced us with a beautiful Christmas concert for the entire school. They were enchanting as they sang many classic songs and new ones as well. Our students were an amazing audience too. It’s always fabulous being a Bear, especially at Lone Star! Lone Star Elementary Spotlights UIL Oral Reading Kyler Smith reads The Snail Race by Ken Nesbitt Madeley Ranch Elementary by: Kelly Lowe Our 3rd and 4th grade Rockin' Ranchers choir "rocked" the stage last Thursday night with a festive medley of songs. They have learned so much about music, singing, and most importantly, coming together as a group to make a harmonious sound. We are so proud of our Rockin' Ranchers. We had our first E-Track Showcase this past Friday, and our 3rd and 4th grade students did a great job showing parents and the community the product they created during their weekly E-Track time. What a blessing it is to enrich our students in an area they are passionate about. Elizabeth Gunn reads The Nap Taker by Shel Silverstein Payton Bauer reads The Tiger and the Zebra by Ken Nesbitt Our library is creating 'Rockin' Readers! Each grade level has a reading program, and so many students are participating this year. Parents and community can go to our school website and watch the Animoto Mrs. Williamson makes each week to showcase readers and weekly awards.

Montgomery Intermediate by: Kim Wunderlich Montgomery Elementary by: Penny Olbrych Our Fall E-Tracks cycle ended November14th. The showcase was held in the library on Friday, December 12th. The library which is normally a quiet place came to life. There was so much excitement and energy in the room. We had 12 different groups representing second, third and fourth grade. Our groups were: Dinosaurs, Sewing, Dance, Photography, Yearbook, Experimental Science, Clay, Building, and Trash to Treasure, Animal Science, Arts & Crafts, and TV/Radio Broadcasting. Students were happy to demonstrate and show off their creations and talents. MES students are awesome! The Montgomery Intermediate Pet Care E-Track Cluster organized a pet supplies drive under the direction of Mrs. Christine Gigliotta. This group of students chose to raise funds and supplies for the Montgomery County Animal Shelter by offering a “Paws Off” day to students. Supplies were collected at the car-rider and bus lines and money was gathered in every homeroom. Students were given a pass to take off their shoes last Friday in exchange for a donation to the shelter. What a great way to learn about pets, organization, advertising, and giving back to the community! Stewart Creek Elementary by: Nancy Bodman Third graders at SCE have worked very hard on their E-Tracks display for our showcase that took place Wednesday, December 10th from 8:45-10:30. They were able to show off all they have learned by participating in E-Tracks this semester. We feel sure that parents, administrators, and community members were beyond amazed at their hard work! Welcome to Hollywood! Mrs. Grant’s Class Celebrates “Paws Off” SCE was honored to host the UIL competitions last week. We had several students who placed in their competitions.

Montgomery Jr. High School by: Joan Allen Montgomery Junior High students donated over 14,000 cookies this year for the 2014 Christmas in Historic Montgomery Cookie Walk. You could feel the Christmas spirit come alive as parents and students dropped of their beautifully decorated cookies to support their community. MJH history teachers encouraged their students to participate in this worthy cause as all proceeds are used to preserve and maintain historic buildings owned by the Montgomery Historical Society This group of teens serves the physical needs of the department as well - painting, updating, organizing and creating. "Learning to serve today helps us to be aware of other's needs later in life," explained one student council member. Keep an eye out for these industrious young people in the Theatre Department.
