BISD ensures students are workforce ready

When you think of preparing students for the future in K-12 education, the first thing that may cross your mind is teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic.

Days stretch before us like an untraveled road, waiting for that first step in the journey to our goals and dearest dreams. 01/08/2023 12:00 AM

I actually got to see a few moments of Mars and the Moon quite close together on the 7th, but it was fleeting. One of my neighbors texted me asking what that bright pimple looking thing was next to the moon. Such is life as an astronomer, being clouded out. 01/08/2023 12:00 AM
