For the past 4 years, our district has used our staff development day before Spring Break to give our staff at all of our campuses and district a day collaborate with each other, recharge and hopefully get their minds ready for a week of relaxation. To address these mental health needs, we allow our staff to choose areas where they might feel comfortable to have a little fun.
Staff could choose to work/play in the Education Foundation golf tournament, go on a nature walk/hike at the beach or participate in Greyhound Camp sessions. Here are some pics from some of the activities that took place on Friday (see previous post for staff participating in golf tourney). We hope everyone enjoyed their day and wish all of our staff a relaxing Spring Break!

Taft ISD Bond 2024 Update
The second concrete pour took place on Feb. 23rd on the west side of the site where the new gym will be located. Sewer drainage continues to be installed around the site near the sidewalks. The remainder of the site plan continues to be prepped for foundation work and concrete pours to take place in the coming weeks.
Perimeter fencing has been completed around the baseball & softball fields and the entrance gates have been installed. The on deck circles are being moved closer to the home plate circle to prevent injuries. Foundation work for the concession stand is also taking place. #TaftPride
