Transformed Treasures
Written by Kiana Parham
This past week, Mrs. Duron’s Family and Consumer Sciences class put the finishing touches on its “treasures” projects. They were given
fifty dollars in Salvation Army money to buy anything at their store. Students spent many hours transforming the regular items into
treasures. They turned ties into wallets, candle-sticks into picture holders, picture frames into chalk and cork boards, and a plain white
lamp shade into a piece of art. These items were given back to the Salvation Army where they will be auctioned off to raise money for
their organization.

Investigational Research: Data Interpretation Who knew plant food could be so much fun to investigate? Students in Mrs. Torre’s RtI
Reading Class spent two weeks interpreting data tables, comparing growth rates, and
summarizing details to explain growth rate in plants exposed to various kinds of plant
food. Collaboration, questioning, and understanding were necessary components that led to
student-centered success. We did it!!

We are so happy to welcome Mrs. Genee Kim here at Lackland
ISD. She will be here a few days of each week
providing speech therapy services.
Ms. Friday's SFA
students presented
their first Book Clubs
this week, and they
did such a fantastic
job that she wants to
borrow several! There
is such a variety to
choose from, that if
you stop by to look,
you may find one that
you just have to read!

Stacey Volleyball by: Nicholas White, Sophomore
********************************
On October 9, the Varsity Stacey Lady Eagles Volleyball Team played a district game against Tilden High School. The Lady Eagles were 1-3 in district play this season. They
played a hard-fought game, but Stacey lost by a score of 3 sets to 0. Although the Lady Eagles lost, they showed great spirit by wearing pink bandanas and customized shirts to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Lady Eagles are now 1-4 in conference play
but still have a shot of making the playoffs. Keep working hard, Ladies!

October 16th.
Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior.
The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time.
Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.

Voting Pouches
The fashion design class designed and created pouches for the Active Expressions Electronic Votes. Mrs. Osborn and Ms.
Rabidas asked the students to make a class set for their rooms. The pouches attach to student desks with Velcro and were designed to be removable in order to be cleaned. Math
students now have the ActiveExpression student responders at their side. These devices allow teachers to instantly assess
student learning. Teachers can send quizzes and tests directly to the student responders and collect the results in real time
