Resolutions were presented to four District 6 counselors this evening when the Dallas ISD Board recognized their recent achievement as Counselors Reinforcing Excellence for Students in Texas or CREST Award recipients.

The CREST Award is a prestigious opportunity provided by the Texas School Counselor Association for counselors to document the school counselor's role in supporting student success.

Congratulations!

"The counseling department unstintingly works to address the academic and socio-emotional needs of Jimmie Tyler Brashear students. It serves as a school-wide safety net for students at risk of academic failure and families in need of various services. Counselors establish community connections that provide services beyond the school walls."

"The counselors at Boude Storey Middle School are an integral part of the school. Saying it simply...they are the heart of the school. Through guidance, responsive services, systems support and individual planning, our counselors are able to effectively produce a well-rounded comprehensive guidance program"

Boude Storey Middle School community meeting

After enjoying a Welcome Parents Dinner, sponsored by community businesses and supporters and hosted by staff and teachers, proud students guided parents, siblings and guests to the school auditorium.

Here they learned about the 2010-2011 performance and rating of Boude Storey Middle School in the State Accountability System. Parents and community were then introduced to campus strategies for continuous improvement in core subjects and throughout the school.

It was my honor to lead everyone in making a commitment to three school-wide goals: 1) Increase academic achievement; 2) Improve school pride and spirit; and 3) Broaden parent and community involvement.

Such community meetings are a requirement of the Texas Education Agency (TEA) with my presence and participation having been planned and scheduled well in advance.

Following the formal presentation, thoughtful questions and detailed answers revealed parent focus on student safety in the community along with student performance in school..

Parents, teachers and staff led by Principal Dr. Ronald Morris took this opportunity to show support for initiatives that can help Boude Storey Middle School accomplish a successful new school year.

A Teacher's Creed

"In the classroom on the first day of a new school year, I am eager to meet my students. I have rehearsed my greeting and first day’s remarks, but no matter how many years I’ve prepared for this procedure, it’s always new. My heart pumps a bit harder, faster; I feel adrenaline like an athlete, or like an actor, or maybe like a novice public speaker. It’s a marvelous feeling, this first day, because I know that something special is going to happen, and I know it because I’ve experienced it before and I know that I will experience it every time I meet a new class throughout my venerable career. And then they’re seated before me and I smile at this special feeling. This is an assembly of students, yes. But there’s so much more, because each of these young persons is more than just a student entrusted to me. Each of these students has a story to tell, a lifetime, however brief, of experiences, a history in volumes whose richness and depth I can barely begin to fathom. And so as I absorb the first glimpse of these young charges, I must appreciate the extent of my responsibility, of the privilege I’ve accepted in presenting these young souls my special knowledge. In offering them my talent and passion, I am adding an enormous array of new bright stars to the vast firmament of their minds, stars that will never have time to fade in their lifetimes. I will be part of their story. And I know that each of them will always be part of mine. And that’s a good feeling, a feeling that is perpetually renewed, revisited, and rewritten in A Teacher’s Creed."
