Welcome Back – I
hope everyone had a great summer and is ready to
get back to School. As you can see, the
construction is finally done and everyone is in
a brand new classroom with lots of new stuff.
Along with the new building we have a brand new
mural across from the library. You can see some
photos in our
PTA photo album. It depicts the growth of
Plano and Huffman in particular. I think the
colors and style are perfect for our Elementary
School and your generous donations and
participation in various events helped
commission this lovely artwork. We also have
all new landscaping around the building and it
looks amazing. I am really excited about how
Huffman looks on the outside but am particularly
thrilled with what is on the inside. The
teachers and staff are so great and have been
working so hard these last couple of weeks to be
ready for the most precious thing inside these
walls – our children.
I am so proud to
call myself a Huffman parent and Huffman PTA
member because in addition to being awarded the
Outstanding Elementary PTA and Outstanding PISD
PTA, we also won eight State
awards at the
convention this summer in Austin.
Huffman's shining achievements were three
Overall Best in Texas awards for Legislative
Guardian, Youth Protection and Newsletter.
Huffman also captured Gold awards for Keep Texas
Beautiful-Campus Beautification, the Green
School Award, Arts in Education, Electronic
Communication – Website and the Silver award for
Electronic Communication – Newsletter. These
can be seen in the Halls of Huffman as you enter
the front doors.
Let’s take a moment to
reflect on all of our hard work, dedication,
commitment, sweat & tears, smiles & cheers and
appreciate where we are today!! Moments like
these are special and we sometimes forget to pat
ourselves on the back for the tireless efforts
we have made.
It is now time to
Create Excitement for the year 2007-2008 – Let’s
Have Some Fun!!!
