In a brief meeting Dec. 17, Perrin-Whitt CISD board members found out what was happening in the district with holiday break just days away.

Elementary School Principal Teresa Mathis said many of her students participated in the Perrin Stock Show at the Perrin Fair Barn Dec. 14. Students also participated in the Grinch and ugly sweater competitions during the final week before school.

Perrin Elementary also won the UIL district academic meet at Newcastle earlier this month. The school medaled in 16 of the 25 events they participated in.

Mathis also spoke of the school’s inaugural Literacy Night in early December. She said about 20 to 25 parents and children attended the event.

Parents and children rotated around to learn literacy skills, all with a very hands-on theme. Mathis said she hopes to have more participation next year.
