Valentine’s Day has come and
gone and by now the flowers are
wilted and the candy has been
eaten. Hope you each had a great
Valentine’s Day.
The Sandie basketball team was
defeated in the area play-off
game by Broaddus.
Congratulations to Coach
Roberts, Coach Padgett, and all
the Sandies on a great season.
Once again, I am proud of the
way our players conducted
themselves in victory or defeat.
The baseball and softball teams
are doing very well. Tennis,
golf, and power lifting continue
to make good showings.
The first round of TAKS testing
is over and we hope everyone did
a good job.
The Ag Mech team did very well
in San Antonio and will be in
Houston this week. I received a
phone call this past week from
another school commending
Grapeland for the conduct and
sportsmanship of our students.
These are the things that make
me so proud of the students we
have in Grapeland.
Construction is going very well
on the new school. Plans are to
be in the main building by the
time school starts August 27th.
The new gym should be completed
around the first of October. Our
students should be very proud of
this new school and it is well
deserved.
Again thanks to the Grapeland
school board and the citizens of
Grapeland for providing this
facility for our students.
We
will have school on April 9th
to make up the day we missed for
bad weather. Spring break is
fast approaching.
It’s a great day to be a Sandie!!
