From the Desk of Troy Parton......
A Spring is a tightly wound coil of steel that when compressed "jumps" away from its stationary location. What a fitting word for this time of year in Paducah ISD. After a short lull for some a compression time, the students and staff are set to jump into a busy season in our public school system. 20-25 testing days over the next 2 and 1/2 months, little dribblers, National BPA, baseball, golf, tennis, UIL academics, One Act Play (OAP), track, State FCCLA, stock shows, FFA contests, youth baseball, PTO activities, band trip, banquets, field trips...I am sure I have left something off.
Come out and support the students every chance you get, they are proud to be Dragons, and your presence means a lot to them. Everyone seems to be pulled in so many different directions this time of year, stretching our "spring" just remember to take some time for your children to compress and recharge your spring. We at Paducah ISD appreciate everyone who has been a part of the legacy of success and we strive to continue the excellence that our community has come to expect.
