Meanwhile, a real T-rex had this to say.

This after-school program, made possible at all middle school campuses by a DISD Education Foundation grant, is designed to increase student TAKS scores and classroom performance by emphasizing moral, academic, and physical involvement.

The first meeting focused on the meaning of respect, and how it relates to self, others, and society. Students discussed what respect means to them based on their personal experiences, and participated in a Build ‘Em Up activity which encouraged them to take a negative scenario and switch it around to a positive situation.

The T-REC grant was a collaborative effort by teachers Reginald Johnson and Kendrick McCollums at Kennemer, Karen Cothran and Marq Lipsey at Reed, and Olish Allen and Maurice Horton at Byrd.

Ghostland Observatory Yes, they play here a lot because they are from Austin. No, that doesn't mean you can't see them again. Of course they will be back, but is that any excuse to not check out what some call the best live act this side of I-10? Didn't think so. "image by: Dániel Perlaky" '06 More info
