Lady Winds/Winds Tahoka Basketball Tournament December 2 -4

My Dear Whirlwind Family and Community, On this day of giving thanks, I want to take time to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. Today I am especially thankful for the opportunity to lead this school district, to work with such an amazing, hard-working staff, and to be able to positively impact the life of every child in our district. I want to take time today to ask you to please keep Andrews ISD in your thoughts and prayers. Last week, they experienced a tragedy that hit very close to home to all educators and school districts. Lives were lost and I’d like to ask our community to pray for their community on this day of thanksgiving. Earlier this week, I spoke with someone who has a close relationship with people in the Andrews school community. He shared with me the details of the accident. Later that day, as I sat and reflected on the details and pictured the accident in my mind, I became extremely emotional. While our kids weren’t involved in this accident, we place kids on buses frequently and send then them to activities all around the area. With that in mind, this accident really hit me and I was overcome with emotion and tears. Our most precious treasure is our kids. While I have my own kids in our school system, I consider EVERY child in our district as one of my own. Accidents can happen at any time and to any person, but they are even worse when kids are involved. I become emotional every time I think about Andrews ISD and how this tragedy has impacted them. I feel God was with them during this tragedy, even though they experienced a loss of two lives. Knowing the details of this accident, it’s a miracle that students didn’t lose their lives. I strongly believe there was divine intervention. Psalm 121: 7-8 (NIV) tells us, “The Lord will keep you from all harm – he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.” HE was with the students of Andrews ISD and is with our school community. Please continue to pray for them and for all school districts in our nation. Happy Thanksgiving and God bless you all! With Love, Gilbert Trevino, Ed.D Superintendent - Floydada Collegiate ISD 226 West California Street Floydada, TX 79235 (806) 983-3498 gtrevino@floydadaisd.esc17.net
