Dear Panther Family,
Congratulations to all of you! I was notified last week that Medina Valley ISD is a statewide finalist for the H-E-B Excellence in Education Award in the Small School District Category. We are one of three districts to be named finalists. The other two districts are Kerrville ISD and Canutillo ISD. The winner will be announced on April 30 and will receive a $50,000 prize. You have all contributed to the district being recognized in this manner. Your hard work and dedication is certainly appreciated.
Also, congratulations to Christine Orozco for being named Employee of the Month for January. Mrs. Orozco serves as the Parent and Family Engagement Coordinator for the district and does a fantastic job for our families.
I hope that you all enjoyed your three day weekend. Thank you for all that you do for our students.
Sincerely,
Dr. Rohrbach
