THANK YOU, Mustang Muscle!

On this Father’s Day, I wanted to take some time to recognize all the Dads of Mustang Muscle. Thank you for going above and beyond this past school year! Happy Father’s Day!

This year Muscle contributed over 400hrs of Carpool duty among 7 Dads and just under 500hrs total to benefit RHE. Thank you to Drew Harris, Russell Lasiter, Russell Letcher, Rance Monk, Eric Sanchez, Justin Sheffield, and Mark Wertman. Y’all helped make carpool a breeze this year. To all the other Dads that helped with yard work, Walk-a-thon, Fine Arts Day, Graduations, and “Extended Recess.” Thank You!

Hey Muscle!
Let’s gather to celebrate the end of another successful school year. Come hang out @ Wild Acre Camp Bowie this Tue night @ 8 pm.
