On Saturday, April 6th, 550 students competed for TMEA’s Region
IX Region Choir. This region spans 13 school districts and 19 of
our MJH Choir students were selected! There were 13 eighth graders
and 6 seventh graders! Just last year, 12 students from MJH Choirs
were selected for the TMEA Region IX Region Choir. MJH Choir
Director, Joey Bansuelo said, "We are so proud of everyone who
auditioned. These kids have worked so incredibly hard learning this
music and putting themselves through a very tough day of auditions.
I see future All Staters here. Our kids did a fantastic job!"

Thirteen LSE staff have been humming the oldies Bee Gees tune
“Stayin’ Alive”. That is because they successfully completed the
requirements for American Red Cross Adult and Pediatric First
Aid/CPR/AED certification. During the skills portion of the class,
that song was played almost constantly to help practice chest
compressions at the correct rate of 100-120 bpm. LSE is a safe
place to be because we now have a total of 19 staff members that
are current in their certification and will correctly respond to a
life-threatening situation. They are true CPR Superheroes!

Keenan Lions love to spend time together. Some of the older
lions enjoy sharing their love of reading with some of the Li’l
Lions on campus. The admiration goes both ways. Not only do these
lions spend time together with a book, they also look for each
other throughout the day to share a quick wave or high-five. This
Lion pride is growing very close.
Keenan Elementary believes in M.A.G.I.C.

Lone Star Library Leaders have been busy selecting books for our
library! Each student at LSE took a survey created by our Library
Leaders to determine which books students wanted to add to the LSE
Library. Using the information from the survey, the Leaders
created a book order based on the top 10 categories requested. The
books have arrived and our Leaders are planning ways to advertise
the new titles to LSE.
Thank you to MISDEF for providing a grant to make this project
possible!

Kindergarten classes created terrariums for earthworms with soil
and water. They can't wait to see all the tunnels and burrows their
"pets" make and are realizing how important they are to our
ecosystem.
At Madeley Ranch, our teachers know that learning scientific
concepts is best done when it's hands-on. Kindergarten and first
grade classes have been learning about organisms and the needs that
living creatures must have in order to grow.
First graders have been incubating chicken eggs in class. They
have learned that the eggs need constant warmth and humidity in
order for the baby chicks to grow inside. By candling the eggs,
they were able to see that chickens grow from just a ball of cells.
The students are waiting in anticipation for those eggs to start
cracking!
Lincoln Elementary held its first Spring S.E.M. Showcase in the
Café last Thursday. It was a huge hit! Parents, students and
teachers were excited to walk through the café and see the final
creations and productions. Students took turns presenting and
explaining their projects. L.E.S. loves E-tracks!
Field Day 2019 Lincoln Bears had perfect weather for their first
Field Day! A big "shout out" to Coach Rader and Mrs. Isbell for
planning and organizing this fantastic event. Students rotated
through stations, relays and bounce houses. They also enjoyed a
dance party in the café and cooled off with a Kona Ice snow cone!
Good times and laughter could be seen and heard all over the
campus!

Kindergarten students got a special surprise on Friday during
Genius Hour. These students have spent time exploring and learning
about different animals so they got the chance to meet some of the
animals they have learned about. Some parent volunteers brought in
a Burmese python, an axolotl and a uromastyx. The students loved
seeing these exotic animals and even the teachers had fun petting
the unique creatures. Thanks to our kindergarten teachers and
volunteers for sharing these unique animals with our students.
Advancing ten boys in nine events, and nine girls in 12 events,
to the Area meet, MHS Track & Field team dominates their
competition at the UIL 5A District 18 Meet on April 9-10 at MISD’s
stadium. Both the boys and girls teams won 1st place overall, with
the boys scoring 27 points more than the 2nd place team, New Caney
Porter High School, and the girls scoring 40 points more than the
2nd place team, Kingwood Park High School. Special thanks to
student photographer, McKaylie Self.

MES recently held their 1st Annual Mom and Son Nerf Night. It
was a HUGE success. Picture moms and their sons running around the
gym hiding behind barricades and jumping out trying not to get hit
by the incoming nerf bullets; it was a fun time to be had by all.
Besides the Nerf fun, they also enjoyed pizza and a movie. We love
promoting quality family time at MES, and watching the smiles and
laughs made it all worthwhile.
Our Spring E-Track Showcase was also a HUGE success. What a joy
it is to see our students enriched each week and to come out with a
product or service they made themselves. From bookmaking, to
Rubik’s Cubes, woodworking to sign language, we love enriching our
students at MES.
The Lake Creek Student Council is attending its first TASC State
Convention representing our brand new school; seeking new ideas and
information to bring back for next school year.
The LCHS Theatre troupe continues to advance through Regional
competition and is now headed to the State Competition in late
April. We are eagerly watching this group of young thespians in
their remarkable first year!
Lake Creek’s Law Enforcement teacher, Mr. McDougald arranged for
the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and for the Montgomery ISD
Police Department to share some great learning experiences for our
kids!
Lake Creek’s Best Buddies recently went to Seven Acre Wood in
Conroe for a fantastic outing. It was a day filled with crazy
basketball matches, pink lemonade drinking competitions and chasing
after barn animals! A big thank you to those who came!
