For young men in America, sports could be a solution for what experts deem a neglected and overlooked crisis of connection. Schools like L.D. Bell and North Forney have created bonding opportunities for athletes in their programs. From @t_myah: bit.ly/3WBZKcq

@iUP_MrsJones This is how I’ll remember it! 😭

@WeissBHS Your room 😭 it’s so empty!

And just like that… #RetiringClassOf2023 #SoManyMemories #SoMuchGratitude

Our seniors are going places! Before they walk across the stage, they’re following Gulliver as he travels to new lands.

@robinrox @CommunityCFB @williamlies247 Exactly! Magical! We skipped the shuttle and walked back to the Pasadena train station after the game. I swear my feet barely touched the sidewalk!

@iUP_MrsJones Congrats!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms! Today I showed my kids what following your dreams looks like. Daniela Jones, M.Ed. 💚

How to make a Texas Ex deliriously happy in two simple steps. #TexasFightTour #HookEm 🧡🤘🏻🧡

Playoff baseball! Rooting for the Blue Raiders while @WeissTMS cheers on his former students who play for Byron. #goblue

Our fantastic E. Don Brown Activity Center was dedicated 10 years ago today!

@FredHEBISD @hebisd Thanks for being there!

5p Honoring/retiring from @hebisd LD Bell High School, Ron Goyette, Sherri Roses, Nancy Shane & Chris Weiss. Thank you guys and your years of serving our kids!!!

Happy 459th birthday, Shakespeare! Our senior scholars celebrated the Bard’s birth by translating song lyrics and birthday greetings into Shakespeare’s language, composing raps, and posing with props. #ShakespearesBirthday

What a gift Mr. Brown gave me when he took a chance on the rookie from Austin! Countless colleagues, students, and opportunities came into my life thanks to Bell High School, and I’m forever grateful. 2/2

After 32 years at L.D. Bell High School, I’m now down to my last 32 days. Yes, I’m retiring from teaching at the end of this school year! It’s been a wild ride, from journalism and photography to English 2, 3, and 4, from the TAAS to the TAKS to the STAAR. 1/2

Great opportunity! 🤘🏻

LD Bell’s First Annual AP Lang and Lit mock exam last Saturday was a huge success!! Kahlig’s, Conway’s, McCurdy’s, Mumford’s & Hamrick’s kiddos showed up & worked hard! Pizza party after to celebrate! #Bellieve #HEBISD #APLang ##APLit #highyield @RandyBelcherBHS @_JadeWiseman

It was a thrill to be part of the #WFinalFour as a volunteer! I had so much fun helping at #TourneyTown that I went back as an attendee to take in all the hoopla. Bonus photo op: meeting Tamika Catchings, the WNBA and Olympic legend.

Downtown Dallas: Thanks-Giving Square, @DallasMuseumArt, @nashersculpture, and @FletchersDogs at Klyde Warren. Happy #SpringBreak2023!

Strike a pose! Senior English students created tableaux to depict moments from Macbeth on this last day before spring break. It’s fun to see how they interpret their scenes!

L.D. Bell English teachers never stop learning! We added some strategies to our EOC toolbox at Tuesday’s ELAR Instructional Planning meeting.

TILF helped fund my higher education way back when, and it continues to support Texas high school students. Spread the word to state UIL academics contestants!
