Cantu Jr. High School; Josefina (Josie) Flores, Mission High School; Liz Montes, Veterans Memorial High School; Miguel Fraire, Roosevelt Alternative School.

      Each of these 22 teachers is now filling out a questionnaire used in the Texas Teacher of the Year program.  The questionnaires will be reviewed by a panel of judges selected from the community.  These judges will make the final selection of the two teachers to represent Mission CISD in the regional competition.  The judges' decision will be announced at a special Teacher of the Year luncheon to be held on National Teacher Day, May 4.  Each campus Teacher of the Year will also be honored by the district administration and Board of Trusteesduring this special luncheon.

Fall 2024 in the RGV

It's that time of year again when Winter Texans start to make their way south from the northern states. I have already had phone calls with a Winter Texan client who is getting ready to come down. I think it is fascinating that we can make friends from people who are visiting only seasonally.  Looking at the blog stats, I seem to get a peak in traffic every year. So I suppose it must be partly due to many of our friends coming back from up north.  Image generated by Gemini 1.5 Pro AI Speaking of seasons, we still have a couple of months to go before the end of hurricane season for 2024. We have been fortunate this year, compared to other parts of the USA. Although, south Texas could use the rain.  This time of year makes me happy as we finally have nights that are below 78F like we had all summer. This week we have had mornings in the 60s. While we still have hot days in the 90s, we at least get some respite in the evenings, leading to cool mornings.  Returning to RG...

The Mad Mexican

Years ago, there used to be a DJ at B104, a local radio station. Until recent years, B104 had a large audience. They played pop music. The Mad Mexican used to do the morning show with Gary Rodriguez, who is now involved in McAllen politics. Well, the Mad Mexican is still working, but on a national level. I heard him this morning on Aguila, XM 92. Aguila is the Mexican music station on XM Satellite Radio. It's great to hear from him again. He's still pretty wild. Gary Rodriguez? He worked for 107.9 for a while before going to KURV and then entering politics.
