With a heavy heart, we had to say goodbye to one of our team members. Mr. Griffes was family and he always did his part in his own special way. Let’s remember him for his contribution to our school. Please share your pictures/stories!

Today was my last day working with EPISD. I want to thank all the educators who have have been a part of my journey. I wouldn’t be the leader I am today without you. I look forward to working with you all again as a professional development consultant with Region 19.

My heart hurts with the loss of Coach Forbes. He loved his job and dedicated his life to serve his students and community. He was definitely family and will be missed. Rest In Peace Coach Forbes. 🦅🏀
Well, my attempt to bake 28 marranitos for my office staff didn't go as planned… I burnt 14 (oops!) and sacrificed one for quality control. So I ended up with the lucky 13! Lesson learned: baking is not my forte and it’s the thought that counts. 🤷🏽♀️
Reflecting on my niece’s journey to becoming the first doctor in our family, I’m reminded of the importance of resilience and perseverance. Her achievement is a perfect example of how determination can overcome any obstacle.

Completed our TPESS training today with the Bowie feeder pattern principals. There was a lot of learning and discussion about best practices and how we are going to align as a feeder to enhance our school community.

Thank you Andress Student Council and Ms. Rendon for putting together the memorial for Mr. Griffes. It was so beautiful to see his Andress FAMILY come together to honor him for his 31 years of service to our community. Once an Eagle, ALWAYS an Eagle!

Guillen MS honors Marine Staff Sgt. Ambrosio Guillen, a true hero who received the Medal of Honor. Sgt. Guillen sacrificed his life defending fellow soldiers against an assault by Chinese forces. Grateful for those who serve our country and secure our freedom.

Proud moment: I ran into a former 8th grade student from Wiggs MS, where I taught once, who is now applying for a teaching position. We also discovered that he was Mr. DeSantis’ student in high school! It’s inspiring to see this journey come full circle!

We had our 1st book study session with my instructional leadership team. Our focus was on the "Identify" section of The Impact Cycle. We had a great discussion on Friday! I’m confident our new learning will contribute to an excellent school year!

Education is rough right now, and we will continue to push thru putting safety/learning at the forefront of our decisions. But when we lose a team member, Coach Forbes, after working together for 7 yrs., it’s hard not to feel heartbroken. Great feeling when my team shows support.
Teacher Appreciation Day 2– So here’s the scoop… We appreciate all of our hard working teachers at Guillen Middle School. They are the best!
