Heating it up

The Heat basketball team defeated Flight Nine, Texas Trail Blazers and Keller Magic to win the sixth-grade division of The PrimeTime Winter Blast tournament in Carrollton. It was the first of two tournaments that the team won in December. The boys attend St. Bernard and St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic schools.

Driving for confidence

Merriman Park Elementary teacher Larry Owens, who heads the school’s development program for special needs students, along with one of his students, Keysa Hardin, presented the Salvation Army with cans on the last day of school in 2011. Owens says that the holiday food drive was a confidence booster for his students and a tool for learning independence.
