TEA Awards BISD Texas School Ready Certification
The Texas Education Agency recently announced the Texas School Ready!™Certification was awarded to Rana Greathouse and Emily White, prekindergarten teachers at Carson Head Start. Texas School Ready!™ is a program that certifies preschool education classrooms that effectively prepared their students for kindergarten. Application for this certification involves participation in professional learning, on-going student progress monitoring, teacher mentoring and classroom management. Texas School Ready!™ is based on the actual linking between the quality instructional practices that must be in place in a preschool program to get children ready for kindergarten and the children actually achieving scores showing they were on track in the areas of reading and social skills when they entered kindergarten.

BISD Students Continue to Model CORE Values in Our Community
 Richland High School's boys basketball team recently went to an event hosted by Little Caesars at the Presbyterian Night Shelter. They helped feed approximately 1,000 homeless people while they were there. The Night Shelter houses 600 people in their main building, 75 veterans in the veterans building, and 100 woman and children in their own building. There were several that could not enter any of the facilities for various reasons who were fed outside.
James Whitfield, assistant basketball coach, said "Some may not see it as I do, but the people we served at the Presbyterian Night Shelter have unbelievable courage. Most don't truly realize how close they themselves are to being in the same predicament these people find themselves in. It takes an unbelievable amount of courage to live the way they do with the uncertainty of where the next meal will come from, where will they find shelter, etc. Too often people see what they want to see in these homeless people (drug users, lazy, unmotivated, etc.). We chose to see it for what it is because it is not our place to judge, but rather, serve. EVERY person that we served told us "thank you," "we appreciate you," and "God bless you"! Not one or two but every single one of them! These are grateful people who, for whatever the reason may be, need our help and we commend the unbelievable courage it takes to brave those streets night in and night out. It was a very humbling and enlightening experience for our staff and players, and we look forward to doing it again."
