Conroe ISD celebrates the start of a new school year

CONROE, Texas - The Conroe Independent School District celebrated the beginning of the 2015-16 school year on Thursday, August 20, at the annual “Celebrate Our Schools” assemblies. The morning session began with the Elementary Teacher of the Year, Jamie Straughan, and the Secondary Teacher of the Year, Sabrina Pomales, leading the pledges followed by Conroe ISD music and choir teachers singing the “National Anthem.” A musical performance comprised of over 100 students representing all Conroe ISD feeder zones entertained the crowd.

As in previous years, Dr. Stockton shared facts, assessment results, and exciting news from each feeder zone in his State of the District address. He concluded his presentation with an interview from a teacher, Sheri Broughton, whose life has been positively impacted by her first grade teacher, Susan Frankson, whom she had not seen since. The two were reunited on stage to resounding applause.

In addition to celebrating the new school year, everyone who attended had the opportunity to donate to the Montgomery County Food Bank. Every dollar raised will allow the Montgomery Country Food Bank to purchase eleven pounds of food.
