As we move into February, we usher in a flurry of new experiences and old favorites.  This month our focus shifts to celebrating the special people in our lives and their accomplishments.  On February 2, the SBISD Council of PTAs will host their Founder's Day Fiesta to honor the PTA and 2009 Life Members and recognize outstanding educators by awarding the School Bell Award.  Rummel Creek is proud to honor at the fiesta the following 2009 Life Members:  Nancy Harn, Kate Evetts, Christine Wilson, Susan Ferrari, DeeDee Robinson, Kathy Luck, Debbie Slack and Robin Howell.

On February 23, we offer 5th grade parents "The Parent's Guide to Sending Your Firstborn Off to Middle School." Our month concludes with the completion of the Texas PTA Environmental Awareness Program Contest.  The deadline for all entries is Thursday, February 25.  Our cowboys and cowgirls will dosey doe at the annual and most anticipated Western Day on Friday, February 26 during their Specials Time.
