Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities
Enrollment
We have several new students this year and have had new ones start even on Wednesday. We welcome each of you. We have 227 enrolled so far I’m told. I see new faces in the cafeteria and some really cute, nice preschoolers don’t get to come to the cafeteria, but those kindergartners are precious.
The preschoolers’ lunches are catered in a rolling chest over to the elementary building.
Subs
We had several teachers who were involved in our county fair and are now in the State Fair, so have had several regular subs helping out. Irene Jasso, who formerly of our staff but quit for the past few years to enjoy the grandkids and take some time for the family, has been substituting at Dora. She said it seemed like old times coming to the cafeteria for our cooks’ food. The Jasso kids all graduated from Dora.
Congratulations
Amanda Forrer left our school last year because of the illness and death of her grandpa, Henry Forrer. While he was in the hospital in Lubbock she moved to Floydada, Texas to live with her parents. Amanda recently married over there and her parents have moved to Phoenix. The grandmother moved to Lubbock to be near Henry while he was in the hospital so long.
