TAKS Complete
Today was the last day of TAKS testing for CHHS! Praise the Lord! We have finished another year. Although my commitment to testing wasn’t as great as some, it’s still nice to have the stress behind us.
TAKS testing at the high school level brings a whole new dimension of stress for students. They must pass this test at the 11th grade level in order to graduate – no pressure huh? Most students pass with flying colors but there are some who struggle to pass and have to work very hard to achieve success. Some of the students who were testing today in efforts to pass their exam so they could graduate in June. It’s those students my heart went out to today. When I walked into their testing room you could feel the tension as they worked problem after problem praying for a passing score. I’m thankful testing is over but the stress will continue for those seniors until they receive their scores.
We can scratch TAKS off our “list of things to do” and take one step closer to the end of the school year. 5 more weeks!
The 9th grade Mathematics test from this morning. Buckets-o-fun!!!

You deserve a real break. I hope you are able to relax with the family at the lake this weekend. Just put all of your stress away and enjoy the closeness of being with the ones you love so much!!

How blessed those kids are to have someone with your compassionate caring heart in their lives. I’m with Pops, have a wonderful “Easter” retreat at the lake and take care of yourself! I love you, too!
