October is National Principal’s Month. This month-long celebration is a time to recognize and thank our hard-working principals on each campus of Spearman Independent School District. We are fortunate to have outstanding men and women lead the campuses. Craig Black is the principal at Spearman Junior High. A good day at school for Black is when everyone is there. “100% attendance, and the students engaged in their classes and attempting to do their absolute best is what makes for a good day at school,’ said Black. “Our students deserve the best that we can offer. I want school to be the most enjoyable experience it can be while at the same time developing academically and socially. It is my responsibility to do my best to make that happen,” added Black. He can still remember the positive impact of his kindergarten teacher. “I still have memories of my first teacher, Mrs. McClean for kindergarten. She made school so much fun for me. I remember one of my favorite things to do was writing in my Big Chief Tablet (I may have just aged myself on that one!),” laughed Black. Thank you for making school fun for the students at SJH and impacting their lives.

October is National Principal’s Month. This month-long celebration is a time to recognize and thank our hard-working principals on each campus of Spearman Independent School District. We are fortunate to have outstanding men and women lead the campuses. Dustin Klafka is the Dean of Student Relations at Spearman High School. “Every day is a good day! It is always a choice. We have the blessing and responsibility to pour into kids’ lives and in turn positively affect their future and place in this world. I firmly believe what we do is a calling and an absolute blessing,” shared Klafka. Klafka is proud of how well the start of the school year has gone. “It has been just a fantastic start to the year; very positive. The attitude and comradery of the staff and administrators this year is different, in a good way! I'm proud to be a small part of this district. I'm proud of who we are and how we love on kids. “ He is inspired by effort. “Maximum effort, team first mentality, and growth through accountability. These things seem to be fewer and further between these days. When the combination of these qualities is done consistently it becomes who we are. These people inspire me and push me to be the best version of myself. There are leaders and then there are those that truly lead. People don't care what you do, they care why you do it. We have a healthy number of people at Spearman ISD that are in this business for the right reasons: they are led by their why and, I'm better because of it,” added Klafka. Congratulations, on a job well done and giving your maximum effort in all you do.

Mrs. (Hernandez) Martinez's class had fun while learning Spanish vocabulary terms for parts of the body. They sang the song Head and Shoulder, Knees and Toes in Spanish.

Mark your calendars and wear your college, military or career shirt for Future Awareness Day on October 11th.

The Lynxettes volunteered Monday evening at Spearman Funball Practice.
