Keeping up with the Thorndale Exes

Thu, 05/22/2025 - 5:59am

Thorndale Ex-Students Association Is it hot enough for you?? Do take care as this is dangerous heat. The Scholarship program was Tuesday, May 20 and we gave out 6 $500 scholarships and 1 $1,000 scholarship. I’ll list them in the near future. Seniors, we sure need your mailing addresses. You can message me, e-mail me or phone me. FYI: Homecoming is October 4 at the Fireman’s Hall. If we don’t have your mailing address you won’t get an invitation. That doesn’t mean you can’t come, but it gives you all the information you need. You also won’t get class reunion notices and you sure don’t want to miss those get togethers. We also need a little extra help at Homecoming this year. A couple of our regular helpers won’t be around that day, so if you have time and would like to help out, please contact me. We will surely thank you.

Senate rolls out eight billion dollar school finance proposal

The Senate Committee on Education K-16 considered the session’s premiere education funding bill as lawmakers look to deliver on a promise to put more money into public education this session than ever before. The version of HB 2 presented to the committee would quadruple the average amount of new public education funding appropriated in a given session, allocating $8 billion in new funds, most of which will go towards teacher pay. Bill sponsor, committee chair, and Conroe Senator Brandon Creighton said it’s the most any Texas legislature has ever increased education and historic dollars for our public schools,” he said. “More than any public education package that we’ve ever passed – every single district, from Beaumont to El Paso, from Wichita Falls to McAllen benefits.”
