According to Albert Einstein, everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. Every soul has its purpose. Every soul has an inner passion. Every soul has the ability to succeed, if they find their purpose and passion.

The summer has been a busy one for the students of Cherokee ISD! Perhaps our busiest group has been our 4-H-ers. Dr. Key and the staff at San Saba Animal Hospital hosted a rabies clinic in San Saba. Cherokee 4-H president, Courtney Hull, 2nd vice president, Clayton Hull, and San Saba 4-H club president, Mikaela Castro volunteered to help with this event. The 4-H also provided a donation only flea and tick bath. We are so glad that our students understand the importance of getting the animals of this community proper care.
