College Station Super Teacher named Lifetime Achievement Winner for Texas!
May 16th, 2011 categories: Castlegate, Community Events, Kids, Family & Personal Stuff, Schools, Selling Real Estate, The Realtor's Life
I love living and selling homes in Bryan/College Station for so many reasons, and one of the top reasons are the amazing schools and teachers we have! We are so lucky to have the top Lifetime Achievement Teacher in the entire state of Texas right here in College Station teaching 3rd grade at Forest Ridge Elementary! Our very own Rick Landmann was the recipient of this prestigious award at an awards ceremony hosted by HEB in Austin May 15th. H-E-B is in its 10th year of the award, the largest monetary rewards program for educators in the state. It all began back in April when Mr. Landmann was surprised at Forest Ridge with balloons and a cake from 10 HEB employees letting him know he was a finalist! He received a $1,000 check for himself and a $1,000 check for the school. He was just one of four teachers in the Lifetime Achievement award category, and if he won, could walk away with $25,000 for himself and another $25,000 for the school. Well guess what, he did it! Our very own teacher was named the 2011 winner of the Lifetime Achievement teacher award by HEB! This is an amazing honor bestowed on a...| Discussion: Your Comments Please »
The little floral shop with a BIG heart in Bryan/College Station

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuEhtiuDaws[/youtube] One of my favorite things about being a realtor in B/CS is getting to meet new people constantly. Since I am a local business person, I really try to support our locally owned businesses. One such business is Flowers by JADE owned by Jeff and Donna Gore. This cozy little shop is located behind Wal-Mart at 1904 Brothers Blvd. Suite C. The thing that strikes you the most is the friendly atmosphere the moment you walk in the door! Donna has been in the floral (more...)| Discussion: 1 Comment »
Super Principal at Forest Ridge goes the extra mile and kisses a pig!
December 1st, 2010 categories: Buying Real Estate, Castlegate, Community Events, Kids, Family & Personal Stuff, Schools, Selling Real Estate, The Realtor's Life
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN_VceVw4lA[/youtube] We are so lucky to live in a town like College Station where the educators and principals go the extra mile to pump up the student body. Every year, the PTO at Forest Ridge Elementary in College Station puts on the annual Fall Festival fundraiser. The fesitval is full of games, activities, food, and amazing live and silent auction items. This year, the theme of the festival was "Truckin' to the County Fair". The Country fair theme created some buzz with old fashion activities such as a pie contest, pig races, and a kiss a pig contest between Principal, Terresa Katt, and Assistant Principal, Jason Hawkins. For weeks, the students filled the jars with money to see which principal would have to kiss Herman the pig! Little did the children know what they were in for when they voted Mrs. Katt as the champion and the one to kiss Herman! Terresa was an amazing sport and really excited the kids after their fall sing along when she laid one on Herman. By the way, she doesn't normally dress that way...the theme of the sing along was Rock N Roll over the years 50's-80's, and she was obviously dressed 80's! Education is so important,...| Discussion: Your Comments Please »

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9Tlpr5O2cg[/youtube] Aggies are GETTING THEIR BOOTS ON in a big way! You can too! So what is the Boot Campaign.... The Boot Campaign is a grassroots initiative started by one of my friends, Heather Fordham, and 4 other women from Texas known as the Boot Girls. The Boot Campaign is a new way Americans can show their support for our active duty service members and veterans. This grassroots campaign has captured the attention of American celebrities and civilians – from professional athletes, politicians, country music stars and more – and is quickly gaining momentum. Money raised will support troops and veterans through the work of the Lone Survivor Foundation and other charities. The Boot Campaign provides Americans with a tangible way to give back to our troops by buying a pair of combat boots and proudly wearing or displaying them. So “Get Your Boots On” to help show appreciation of our military heroes who serve and sacrifice everyday for our nation! For more information on the boot campaign go to the website http://www.bootcampaign.com Come get your boots on this Saturday at the Nebraska game! For more information, see below!

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y5BbKr7zVg[/youtube] Last night I was privileged to attend a PTO fundraiser at Barnes and Noble Book Store for Forest Ridge Elementary where my daughter attends school! It was a wonderful fundraiser for our school with Barnes and Noble donating a portion of the night's sales to Forest Ridge. There were activities for the children and we enjoyed story time with our principal, Terresa Katt, who read a story about a llama. College Station ISD is so fortunate to have principals and teachers who will take time out of their very busy lives to spend time with our children and help raise money for our wonderful schools! Mrs. Katt is known all around our community as being one of the most giving and caring principals around. She puts her students first and will do anything for them. Whether it is reading to the students at a fundraiser, judging a pie contest at our fall festival, or kissing a pig(which she will do Friday), Mrs. Katt is always ready to do anything for the wonderful students of Forest Ridge and College Station ISD! Stay tuned for my next entry and video of the kissing of the pig on Friday!! Thank you Mrs. Katt and Barnes and...| Discussion: 1 Comment »
