Congrats to Mrs. Forrest!!

We are so proud of our fabulous Mrs. Forrest today! We know how inspirational she is to all of us in the SBLC family every day, and it's exciting to see how her words and ideas are affecting others across Texas. She was nominated a few months ago for the HEB teacher of excellence award and found out this morning that she is one of 5 elementary finalists for the state of Texas. We enjoyed a surprise visit from the HEB team this morning so Mrs. Forrest could hear the exciting news. At this stage of the contest, she received both a personal check for $1000 and a $1000 check for the Kiker campus. Such an exciting way to start the week!
