Bird class June 13

The Cross Timbers Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas is hosting a seminar at Mount Pleasant School, 213 Raymond George Way.

Speaker Victoria Moore, an Audubon Society member, is an expert on “hummers.” She will discuss the birds’ uniqueness in the avian world.

Moore will speak on identifying the birds found only in America and their nesting, feeding, and behaviors as well as their famed annual migrations.

Good N.E.W.S. is just that for many

Terry Bartlett has been with Good N.E.W.S. a long time – 19 years, in fact.

She has seen the once-prolific, multi-state organization dwindle to just one – here.

But that one is making a huge difference.

A LONG HISTORY

Originally, Bartlett said, the concept – officially Living at Home/Block Nurse Program – began in Minnesota.

In Texas, the first program arrived in the Morningside area of Fort Worth, coving six square miles.

AHS student is NASA-bound

The sky’s not the limit!

Azle High School student, Harrison Coviello, has been chosen to travel to NASA’s Johnson Space Center on June 23 to participate in the High School Aerospace Scholars (HAS) program.

Nominated by a state legislator, Coviello was selected as one of 270 high school juniors from across Texas to be part of this unique program.

During the school year, students completed a 16-week interactive, online curriculum.

STEAM program challenges youth

It was full STEAM ahead for some Azle youth.

Azle ISD held its first summer STEAM Academy on June 4-5 for first through fifth graders.

Over 200 students participated at AHS in the free event.

Students participated in labs and lessons designed around Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math.

Some students scrubbed up and participated in “surgery” while attending the “Basic Aid” lab.

Right down the hall, others learned the logistics of building recycled rockets, and then had the opportunity to launch them.

Dark Phoenix doesn’t come close to rising

A major cinematic trend owes a huge debt to the X-Men.

But this finale of the mutant series shows just how stagnant the X-movies got.

ABOUT THE FILM

Long before there was a Marvel Cinematic Universe, there was the concept of a series of movies based on the comic X-Men.

If you count the Deadpool movies – and you kind of have to – there are 12 X-Men movies.

The Movie Man saw them all, of course.

The first arrived in 2000, X-Men (Movie Man No. 349, 8 ).
