Congratulations to teacher Debbie Doxtator and all of this year's 5th grade students. We want to issue a special congratulations to teacher Debbie Doxtator. 2011 marks the 5th consecutive year that her students have earned the top spot in math and science for the state of New Mexico!
Congratulations to all of the students and all of the teachers! The state legislature plans a one-hour ceremony in honor of SLC students and teachers on Friday, March 11, 2011 at 12:00 noon in the State Capitol Building Rotunda. Students and teachers will meet their legislators, the school's representatives and have an opportunity to talk about what makes SLC special. Please plan to attend and support the students and SLC teachers as they are honored for their accomplishments!
WELL DONE!!!
ReplyDeleteA big round of applause for the students and teachers! SLC works and here is the proof.
ReplyDeleteFor 5 years! Is anyone paying attention to this and taking note that Charter Schools are the new focus for education? Parents who care and are concerned that their child gets an education look into options. Charter Schools are held by the same if not more stringent standards. They are a public school. I do enjoy reading your blogs.
ReplyDeleteWow that is great that alone shows that this school is doing something right.
ReplyDeleteWhat is amazing to me is that Southwest Charter School staff, students, parents and community members expect this success level and outstanding academic performance. Because of the high expectations, our students respond accordingly.
