Dr. Maria Rodriguez-Casas and the Board of School Trustees honored the Weber Hardin Elementary School faculty and staff with a surprise luncheon at Santiago’s on Wednesday, August 20. Weber Hardin Elementary School earned a “Recognized” rating from TEA for the fifth year. Dr. Rodriguez-Casas thanked the faculty and staff for their hard work and diligence in emphasizing reading at Weber Hardin and for preparing their students so well for TAKS. She reminded them that they were a role model for the other campuses. Weber Hardin faculty and staff believe that education is a pre-Kindergarten through associate degree endeavor, and that teamwork within, and among, schools will help all students succeed.

Board of School Trustee members Scott Mengers, president, Leroy Barrera, vice-president, and Michael Gray, secretary, thanked the teachers for their dedication to their students. The third grade teachers had the honor of cutting the maroon and white cake decorated with a large number five—to celebrate the school’s fifth year of achievement.
