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 »

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 »
