R. L Turner graduate and former METSA student, Yarizamar Escobar, is now the Transformation Manager at Jacobs, a worldwide innovative solutions group.

Even though schools around the world are closed, Yarizamar continues to serve on the Texas STEM (T-STEM) Advisory Board for R.L. Turner High School. She has been meeting with the campus principals, METSA Academy dean, and district CTE leaders regularly throughout the pandemic to provide outside-the-box thinking, ensuring METSA students receive the authentic experiences they deserve, right from the comfort and safety of their homes.

Exciting News! While our Student Nutrition Department has worked tirelessly to serve our students Grab and Go meals weekly (this week 50,190 meals were distributed), we now have more community partners to contribute to the growing need. Many thanks to the City of Carrollton for distributing Grab and Go meals at Rosemeade Recreation and Crosby Recreation daily. Also continuing their tireless efforts to feed our community are Joe’s Pizza on Beltline, Metrocrest Services, Friendship House and Be A Champion Inc.

Thank you CFBISD Community Partners!

We Love Our Seniors Day—May 12

Let’s Make May 12 Special

CFBISD encourages parents and community members to celebrate the Class of 2020 on their social media accounts on Tuesday, May 12.
Show our CFBISD seniors how much we care for them as they enter the last month of their school career in the district.

Here are a few ideas we are sharing on social media for parents or citizens to do:

• Show some love for our graduates by posting spirit signs (in person or virtually);
• Host a drive through parade in a graduates neighborhood;
• Decorate your car;
• Post congratulations messages on social media;
• Coordinate a “clap out loud” campaign.
