Crockett Middle School Launches T.A.M.E. Club
Crockett Middle School has started a new club sponsored by Clint Garzon, 8th grade Science Teacher, and Stephanie Flores, 8th grade Science Teacher. The club is part of the Texas Alliance for Minorities in Engineering (T.A.M.E.).
T.A.M.E. is a group that supports minority students interested in careers in engineering, science, technology, and math (STEM). The organization collaborates with schools, universities, and industry professionals to offer resources, mentorship, and learning opportunities.
The club meets regularly to learn about engineering. Each year, the group travels to compete in events related to STEM fields. Last year, students competed in Midland, where they built water wheels. This year, the students are working on designing and building electric cars. The program has been in effect at Crockett Middle School for four years.
Stephanie Flores, T.A.M.E. sponsor, shared, โThe program has grown over the years, and the kids have really enjoyed working together and learning new things. Itโs been amazing to see their growth and teamwork.โ
Officers for the club were voted in yesterday. The new officers are: President Zachary Banot, Vice President Naya Banot, Secretary Kian Aguilar, Public Relations Officer Clementina Elpedez, and Treasurer Yureka Abellera. Pictured are members presenting to their peers during the election of officers. These students will help lead the group through upcoming activities and events.

๐โจ Exciting newsโthe Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a wonderful chance to connect with your child and experience the joy of bringing home new books. Studies show that kids are more likely to read when they choose their own books, fostering a love for independent reading that leads to numerous benefits, including academic success and improved mental health.
Hereโs what you need to know about the Book Fair:
Dates: October 28 - November 1
Location: CMS Library
While you're there, consider setting up a Book Fair eWallet, a digital payment option that lets your child shop for books without cash. You can also share your eWallet link with friends and family to add funds.
When you fund an eWallet, youโll have the chance to contribute to our Share the Fairโข initiative, which helps support students who need assistance buying books.
Many of us remember the thrill of finding that perfect book at a Scholastic Book Fair. Join us in creating a memorable reading experience for your child.
Happy reading,
ELAR Department
P.S. Every purchase at the Fair benefits our school! ๐๐
