Rolling into career exploration!🚒🚓 @deZavalaMS students had a blast at Careers on Wheels—learning from pros on the move like @thecityofirving Animal Services, Water Services, DEA &more. After collecting stamps at each station, they wrapped up with games & gaming truck 🎮🕹️🛞

Great idea.
Today is ✨ #NationalSTEMDay ✨, and teams of 3 students co-created LEGO foosball games within 30 minutes! Afterwards, they sketched diagrams of the team’s progress towards completion & wrote personal reflections regarding the engineering design process.

Lastly, a portion of the bill asks to remove items with profane language. That seems reasonable until you consider high schools with books like Catcher in the Rye, Catch 22, Of Mice and Men, Things They Carried, and on and on. Classics that we expect our kids to know and read.
We need your calls today on Txlege #SB13 (Library Advisory Committee). This bill has several layers for book orders which could take months to get books to kids. Call your Tx House member & share concerns so they have more information when this bill comes to the House. @TXasl
