PE teacher and sponsor of the Turkey Trot, Michelle Flores, led an outreach to families who were victims of Hurricane Sandy on Staten Island, New York. William T. Davis Elementary was chosen as a fellow Davis Elementary, and a community in need. Principal Holly Smith gave approval for the project, and the Kenneth Davis students, parents, and faculty responded. “I feel that it would be a great opportunity for our students to reach across the country and help students from another Davis Elementary family,” stated Ms. Flores. The Turkey Trot is a physical fitness event in which students walk or run laps around the building. Students, kindergarten through fourth grade, were encouraged to raise money through pledges per lap, or a donation. Together, the Davis school family raised $1,668.37 to make the holidays brighter for several families on Staten Island. When contacted, Principal Patricia Covington was overwhelmed with the community spirit and generosity of Kenneth Davis students, families, and faculty members. “Our community made a difference this holiday season.

TBEC Congratulations Cookout : The MISD Administrative Council took an opportunity over two days to congratulate Roberta Tipps Elementary and Charlotte Anderson Elementary for being named to the 2008 Honor Roll by the Texas Education and Business Coalition. TBEC identifies Honor Roll schools by analyzing three years of performance data for ever public school in Texas. A TBEC Honor Roll school must have a high percentage of students meeting state standards on every TAKS test for three consecutive years. That's the easy part; TBEC Honor Roll schools also have the highest percentage of students performing at the state's most rigorous standard -commended- in every subject. The selection criteria also considers the school's demographics, number of subjects tested and grade levels. Compared to other schools with similar demographics, TBEC honor Roll schools have demonstrated the highest levels of academic achievement year after year.
