Congratulations to Ranchview High School for being named a Lone Star State School Counselor Association Silver Award Winner for the 2018 school year.
In 2016, The Lone Star State School Counselor Association (LSSSCA) developed a progressive awards system that includes three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards. Each level is met with increased levels of rigor designed to elevate school counselor programs to national recognition through The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) awards. Schools receiving the LSSSCA Bronze, Silver or Gold award demonstrated outstanding comprehensive counseling programs that were data-driven, focused on goal completion and aligned to the ASCA National Model. Each application packet was judged according to a rubric that is aligned to the national RAMP award.

The Cross Country teams from Turner High School and Ranchview High School are advancing from district to regionals. Turner girls placed 3rd overall as a team to advance to regionals on Oct. 22. at Lynn Creek Park in Grand Prairie. The Lady Lions are coached by Juan Gomez.
The Ranchview Boys and Girls took 2nd overall as a team at the same event. The Wolves are coached by Tiffany Cherry.
On Saturday, despite driving rain, flooding streets, and the standard crippling fear that goes along with auditioning, we had ten brave students from the Ranchview Orchestra audition for membership into the TMEA Region 31 All-Region High School Symphony Orchestra. Orchestra all-region is always a very tough event as we are competing with our 4A classification against 5A and 6A schools.
Of the ten who auditioned, we placed six into the group! Please congratulate the following Ranchview orchestra members on a job well done:
Jaime Grider, string bass, 1st alternate
Albert Yang, string bass, 6th chair
Nathan Kong, violin 28th chair
Jaeni Loh, violin 23rd chair
Joseph Choi, violin 17th chair
Esther Peng, violin 3rd chair!
In addition to making All-Region, Joseph Choi and Esther Peng also qualified for the Area round of competition, meaning they have been approved to audition for the All-State level! We wish them well as they prepare for the next audition round in two weeks.
The all-region participants will get to enjoy a great musical experience playing professional level music at the Region 31 All-Region Clinic and Concert weekend in December. Once again, please congratulate these students with a “bravo!” on their hours of preparation, nerves of steel, and their great job representing our orchestra, school, and community! We are VERY proud of them!
On Oct. 12, the Kindergarten class at McCoy Elementary got to meet another community helper. Brad Hurtt, from the Mesquite Fire Department, visited with the class and explained what his job entails. Mr. Hurtt put on his fire gear and let students see what a firefighter looks like when battling a fire. While wearing his breathing tank, students could hear what the breathing apparatus sounds like. The demonstration was intended to alleviate fears many young children have when they encounter a firefighter in full gear. To further alleviate those fears, Mr. Hurtt handed his gear to Ms. Sughrue to put on. Demonstrating how a firefighter may enter a burning structure, Ms. Sughrue crawled on the floor with the gear on.

As Kindergarten students at McCoy Elementary learn about their community helpers, they received a visit from Carrollton’s finest on Oct. 11. Sergeant Taylor and Officer Elliston of the Carrollton Police Department came to speak with students about their jobs. The officers explained what they do to keep the community safe and took questions from students.

Carrollton Mayor, Kevin Falconer, visited McCoy Elementary Kindergarten students on Oct. 10. The mayor explained his role and how he and the city government serve the citizens of Carrollton. Students asked several questions about his workday, how he was elected, and if he gets paid to be mayor. Students were also excited to learn that the mayor’s daughter is a 3rd-grade teacher at McCoy.
