Spring Break at Santa Ana National Wildlife
Refuge
The week started of wet and dreary on
March 9, 2015 for the beginning of Spring
Break for some. Santa Ana National Wildlife
Refuge had many activities for this week,
one was the Bird Adaptations-Beaks and
Feet. Although the day was wet and dreary
the inside on the visitor’s center was dry
and plenty of coffee was available. Take a
trip down to Santa Ana Refuge for a
wonderful experience.

On March 20, a Friday the final games of
the tournament were going on at Audie
Murphy Middle School. I am so glad I could
go see our kids play some productive and
friendly games.
Game above was between Farias
Elementary vs McKeever Elementary. The
game had 8 minute quarters with a
mandatory change of players at the 4
minute mark. The game was fast pace with
McKeever scoring fast and from deep. 9 to
3 was the score close to the end of the
game. A mental error toward the end cost
Farias two points that could have been the
turning point to the game but it was not to
be. With 24.3 seconds left in the game
McKeever was in command with a score of
15 to 5.
