Cardinal Spotlight: March 28th

March 28, 2022 by melaniemorgan

One of Menchaca’s newest admin team members that hit the ground running in October is Dr. Darcy Baker-Martinez. Dr. Baker comes to us with a wealth of knowledge and administrative experience. She is responsible for overseeing all academic operations. She leads, reviews data and assists in developing a high quality educational program for our early childhood program. She also supports staff with research-based resources, strategies, coaching and data that takes students to a higher level. Dr. Baker’s area of research is improving the schooling of at-risk students in measurable and systematic ways. Thank you, Dr. Baker, for making a positive impact here at Menchaca and with SISD.

Ava Rodriguez is an outstanding student. She is a true Cardinal and demonstrates all the cardinal traits. She is a bright girl and already knows all her letters and sounds. Ava is a sweet girl with a thoughtful heart. She goes out of her way to be friendly to all. You can always find her smiling in class, in the hallway, and at lunch. It’s a pleasure having her at MECC.

Analeah Gonzalez has a positive attitude everyday and is working hard to learn her letters. At center time she is on task, works together to learn with friends and is a great helper.

Ms. Priscilla Cortez is one of our new Pre-K 4 paras.  Ms. Cortez allows students to develop independence while encouraging them to interact with peers and adults.  She instantly connects with students and knows exactly what to do when support is needed. Ms. Cortez always has a smile that brightens the day for everyone around her.  Thank you, Ms. Cortez, for being a part of Menchaca!

Update on Menchaca’s Adopted Calf, Baby

March 5, 2022 by melaniemorgan

We shared back in November that Menchaca Librarian, Mrs. Christine Lopez, has once again enabled Menchaca to adopt a live calf growing up on a dairy farm for students to learn about and follow how she is cared for and how milk is produced. With live video chats, photos, and activities our cardinals are gaining a deeper understanding of the dairy industry as they watch our cow grow throughout this school year. Our calf is a heifer named Baby who was born on September 24, 2021 at Rottinghaus Holsteins Farm. She is a Holstein dairy cow who was born weighing 98 lbs. and was 32.25 inches tall. Enjoy these updated pictures of Baby!
