Local school trustees work tirelessly and devote countless hours to empower students to excel. January has been set aside as a special time for communities to say thanks to board members for caring so much about the future of every child enrolled in our public schools.

The staff and students at Richland Springs will help prepare an appreciation meal for our board members prior to the January 19th board meeting. A heartfelt thanks to Pres. Barry Fikes, V. Pres. Thurman Saxon, Secretary Micah Shaw, Kay McKee, Jason Lewis, Sally Gossett, and Tina Poe.

The San Saba County Stock Show begins on Friday, January 16th. School releases early on Thursday at 12:54 p.m.

There is no school on Friday so everyone can come to the San Saba County show barn and attend the county show. There is a change in the sale this year. Buyers will purchase exhibitors animals at the San Saba High School cafeteria with only the exhibitor being present. No live animals will be present at the sale.

Thanks to Mr. McKee for taking the time and effort to prepare FFA, 4H, and ag students to be successful in the stock show this year.

It’s great to see our community supporting students in their efforts to achieve. We have a great community, students, teachers and staff. It takes everyone working together to achieve success.

Community involvement is the key to success!
