Don’t you just wish that at least one day you’d like your parent’s to see what you do during school hours? The WATCH D.O.G.S (“Dad’s.Of.Great.Students”) are a group of dad’s that come to the schools where their children go to, so they can “watch” their children throughout the school day ,and through it, can help in showing the equipment and teacher’s each school offer’s. Also, it allows a better connection between father and son, and permits the father to communicate with the teacher’s, plus better understand each of their methods. Richard Mason is a dad in WATCH D.O.G.S, and came to our school on April 11, 2013. Richard is the father of Conner Mason, an 8th grade student here, and went to Conner’s classes and sometimes helped the class. He is a major in math, and moved to Texas 25 years ago. Conner Mason was born in Australia, and when he is older, he hopes to become an engineer. Even though he has been a Watch D.O.G.S representative in other elementary schools, he is new to middle schools, and enjoy’s the new experience.

Mrs. Zuniga is an assistant principal for sixth and seventh grade. This means that she helps with Mr. Groff, our principal, on issues concerning sixth and seventh grade discipline and academics. But, she was not the same person twenty years ago.

She attended school at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). She also worked for American Airlines as a reservationist and she was married.

Mrs. Zuniga has three kids now and taught for several years. She was selected Teacher of the Year in the Pflugerville ISD. She really likes kids and wants to help them find their way during the middle school years.

The biggest change in the last 20 years are technology. It far surpasses anything other change in the school environment.

“The actual computer and monitor were connected in a huge box,” Zuniga said. “The monitor was protected by a glass screen, which made it harder to see. The Internet was just beginning.”

There is so much more on the Internet today than 20 years ago.

She said, “One of the only ways to find information from books. It was  more difficult to find information and time consuming.”
What a novel idea.

My name is Benjamin Estridge. I was born in Lakeland, Florida and lived there for eleven years. I went to Lime Street Elementary, Michele Elementary, and Highlands Grove Elementary between the ages of six to ten. My favorite theme park is Hollywood Studios, by far. The reason is because it has an equal amount of gift shops, concession stands and rides to provide the maximum experience.

My entire family lives in the United States, but most of them live in Florida, and most of that family lives in Lakeland. There is my Aunty Ann, and my Uncle Richard, plus their two adorable children, Bri and Anny. There’s also my other Aunt Tra, who is single. And there is my Papa and Mema.

I moved from Florida at the end of my last school year, and used up half of my summer to get to Texas and unpack all of our stuff. So far, things have gone smoothly and I have enjoyed my experience at Cedar Valley. And luckily, I was able to see everyone during Christmas in Missouri. We had a great reunion, and an even greater time with all the new presents everyone got. But even though it was sad to leave them again, I know we’ll see them next year.
