I met Pearl Cantrell in town this past week and she said she reads the Coyote Pride every week. She said I better mention her in my next article. Mama taught me to always obey my elders. Congratulations Pearl on being 100 years young.

If you see a teacher in public, tell them how much you appreciate their efforts.

We have a great community, students, teachers and staff.

Community involvement is the key to our success!
