Time Capsule Reunion - AHS graduates 2015

Congratulations to these GATE students who graduated last May!  On the morning of graduation, these seniors exited the AHS McCord Field at Aggie Stadium after their graduation practice to meet me on the corner to open the time capsules they created in 3rd grade!  Lots of laughter and comments like, "I remember this!" or "Look at us!  We were so little!" could be heard.  We had a great time looking at projects, old football programs, menus and sale papers with prices from "back in the day," pictures of the students, their handwriting, and art.  

I am super proud of each of these students and know that as they enter different colleges around our state, they will be a success at whatever they do!  They are bright, motivated, and have great personalities!  Best wishes to a fantastic group of grown up 3rd grade GATE students!

Time Capsule Reunion

What a great group of seniors!  Back in 2006, a group of 4th grade gifted students at Albertville Elementary studied time capsules...what they are, why people make them...and they created their own.  These have safely been "buried" in my classroom since 2006!

Tonight we unveiled the "artifacts" inside!

Time capsules ready to be opened...

Bulletin board with pictures of the students "then...and now!"  The current pictures also have printed the students' plans for this fall.  They are all going to school, many have scholarships, and are all motivated and driven in their collegiate plans!

Before the opening of each...

What's inside!?

Back in the good old days of WAES Broadcast!

What a great way to end a school year...and begin new lives for these students!  I am so proud of each of them.  They are all leaders in band, choir, athletics, academics, ROTC, but mostly leaders in LIFE!  Their futures are bright, their outlook is positive...I am blessed to have taught each of these students!

Congratulations, seniors!
