Staff Report on April 8, 2016
Suns get STAAR support from intergalactic visitors

Science Hall Elementary students in grades 3rd through 5th were recently visited by some important figures from another galaxy. The teachers involved wanted to give students encouragement before their big STAAR test. SHES Principal Soor-el Puga and staffers Lorenzo Molina, Courtney Talley and Tiffany Shim-Lee performed a Star Wars-themed skit to show students that they could conquer the test. Students sang along after the performance and enjoyed the antics of staff cheerleaders who needed some help getting organized. Principal Puga ended the performance with a pep talk encouraging students to do their best. The rally’s organizers sent out a big “thank you” to all staff involved, including skit players and pep rally planners, adding appreciation for the help of Daniel Senties, Elias Tavarez, Miqnaya Oranday, Amber Hagen, Celeste Nunez, Emily DeWitt, Evelina Ueckert and Joanne Gries.
