Farewell to Summer Textbook Crew! We return to our campuses Monday to begin prep for the new school year. Here is just a small glimpse of us unloading full cases, mixed materials, and inputting inventory for it all. Ensuring campuses are prepared, it was great working with y’all!

Have you wondered how textbooks arrive to your campus? It is the hard work of your district textbook crew! They’ve been working hard sorting through these boxes to get as much to schools for all students! Summer team is wrapping it up this wk, then back to campuses.

We definitely missed co-hosting together. Ms. Bowen is a ray of sunshine and to host this show again has been so much fun to bring to our teachers. Maybe after this re-introduction next year our lineup will get bigger! 🤩.
@BowieMSChoir and @Read_MsAlcaraz have reunited and we’re back @IrvingBowie_MS with the Masked Teacher! This year, we have AI generated avatars 😜 tune in next week to see who moves into round 2!

So proud and excited to see my former students closer to achieving their dreams because of their hard work and dedication! It makes me so happy to see your beautiful faces!.
What a fabulous morning at Breakfast with the Stars celebrating our amazing scholarship recipients! So proud of our @IrvingBowie_MS seniors—including my little cousin, Cloe. It was a family affair, and she’s a shining example for our Roro, who admires her to the moon and back!

We have had a great time this 5th six weeks @Lamar_MS! Excited to rock it this final six weeks and continue celebrating Ss and learning in #OURHOUSE.
As we start rolling on 6th six weeks, let’s take a look back on all the engaging reader activities we’ve had! From Read Across America Dress Days, Beanstack challenges, and Escape Rooms we have done some amazing things for Ss to learn, grow, and belong! #OURKIDS #OURHOUSE
