Arlington ISD
Jennifer Fuller, an English teacher at Arlington Collegiate High School at TCC – Southeast, was recently awarded a Milken Educator Award during an assembly in front of the school. The honor comes with an unrestricted $25,000 cash prize.
Fuller is among up to 45 educators who will receive the prestigious honor during the 2017-2018 season. The Milken Educator Awards, hailed by Teacher magazine as the “Oscars of Teaching,” has been opening minds and shaping futures for 30 years. The initiative’s goals are two-fold: to celebrate, elevate and activate innovators who are guiding America’s next generation of leaders and to inspire young, capable people to consider teaching as a career. Milken Educators believe, “The future belongs to the educated.”
Milken Educators are selected in early to mid-career for what they have achieved and for the promise of what they will accomplish. In addition to the $25,000 prize and public recognition, Fuller’s honor includes membership in the National Milken Educator Network, a group of more than 2,700 top teachers, principals and specialists dedicated to strengthening education.

Primrose School
The blog “Pointers for Parents” (primroseschools.com/blog) notes that early exposure to music is an important part of every child’s development. The blog shows how parents are making musical memories with their children and stresses the need for variety in the music that is shared. Here are some musical genres the blog recommends for parents and their children:
• Children’s music, which generally has two things in common: lyrics that appeal to young ones and fun, corresponding movements.
• Popular Music (rock, country, hip-hop, rap and many other styles), which has a strong sense of beat.
• Classical Music, which provides a great deal of musical nourishment.
• Jazz, which tends to focus on rhythm, harmony and intricate melodic lines and often features spontaneous interaction and improvisation.
• World Music, or music from other cultures that can enrich a child’s sense of the variety of musical sounds available, especially since this genre often features more unusual instruments.

St. Maria Goretti Catholic School
The St. Maria Goretti team came out a big winner in a recent First Lego League robotics competition. The girls team, Robotastik 5, advanced to another qualifying round and won The Judges Award. Meanwhile, the boys team, Teslas, moved directly to Regional and won second place.

The Dallas Morning News SportsDayHS staff ranked him among the top 100 senior football recruits for 2018 in North Texas.
Henle is excited about his future and thankful for the foundation he received at The Oakridge School that he believes has prepared him for college. “All my coaches, the teachers, classmates and teammates have been so supportive during my time here,” says Henle. “The classwork has been challenging, I’ve grown more independent, and Oakridge has taught me how to get through stressful times and deal with problems that arise in life.”

The Heartbeat Award was established in January 2003.
