"The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough. It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best." - President Barack Obama, Remarks by the President in a National Address to America's School Children, September 8, 2009

Our Texas Culture:
Strength Through Diversity

Our Texas culture is like a quilt because...


Students worked to create individual quilt pieces for our Texas Culture Quilt display. The quilt is an awesome symbol for our Texas culture. Our textbook, Celebrating Texas, begins with the open expression, "Our Texas culture is like a quilt because..." How would you finish this statement?

Class of 75

The Brook @ Blalack is an internet river coursing the "World Wide Web" with information about Mr. Trout's 7th grade Texas history classes at Charles M. Blalack Middle School, Carrollton, Texas.  The Brook has an excellent view of student projects, schedules for tests and tutoring, a table of Texas facts and state symbols, and a list of useful links for the study of Texas. So, don't just stand on the bank day dreaming of yesterday's catches or whining about the ones that got away. It's time to grab your flies, pull up your waders, and come on in for the fishing is great and the trout wait for no one.

The Brook@Blalack is a proud participant in catch and release.

Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk.

 



May your waters be swift and pure, may your presentation be perfect, and of course, let there be trout.
