The Schleicher County Commissioners Court met Monday, June 14, 2010, and voted to enact an immediate county-wide Burn Ban.
The ban came at the request of Fire Chief Jerry Jones who explained that hot, dry conditions have increased the fire potential in the county. Burn Ban signs will be displayed on all highways entering into Schleicher County.
It was noted that the Burn Ban will not affect Prescribed Burns that are done in conjunction with the National Resource Conservation Service and/or the local Prescribed Burn Association.
The PTO is very pleased to announce that our Eldorado Elementary students collected 1,581 Box Tops during the spring 2010 semester to go toward financially helping our school—each top earns the school 10 cents!
Mrs. Sessom’s 2nd grade class won the PTO Box Tops class challenge by collecting 294 box tops! They were rewarded with a “scooper-duper” ice cream party sponsored by the PTO. Mrs. Halbert’s class came in second with 220 tops, and Mrs. Luedeke’s class was third with 160 tops collected. Way to go parents, teachers, and students!
