Visit the McNay this Summer
I seriously think that the “ MCNAY” is a very great Art Museum! All the art and sculptures are fascinating. There are a lot of fountains, pools and water. I discovered that the place used to be the home of a woman. When she died she gave her house to the people. The people wanted the house to be a museum. The McNay has a lot of opera dresses. They all have words designed on them. When you look or you are outside, the grass is very green! There's not an inch of brown! When the water gets drizzled with a little bit of water and you look at the water from a distance with the sun facing you, you can see the grass “SPARKLE”. The people really take care of their yard! The McNay is amazing! The weather is great... not too hot and not too cold. Although, it can be a bit hot on some days. But that’s okay because nice cool breezes come in and there is a lot of shade from all the trees.

Former Cougars Still Hard at Work
Learning never stops Cougars! The picture to the right shows one of our former Cougars at a GT Expo on April 26th. The expo was held at Stevenson Middle School. Students presented a variety of Earth Science projects they worked on during the year including a Periodic Table of Elements project and a roller coaster project! Way to go former Cougars! You still make us proud!
Girl Power
It’s a plane...no, it’s a bird...no, it’s Warner Bros. making a change with superheroes! Superheroes have always mattered to boys, but what about girls?
Girls will now get to know more about Superheroes. These new superheroes for girls will be role models. They will show good citizenship, trustworthiness, kindness, respect, fairness, and responsibility... everything that we learn how to be at Brauchle! They want to rethink the traditional Comic Book Heros. Think about Batman and the fact that girls are not too interested because it is boyish. Wouldn’t it be awesome if there was a supergirl that has a pink costume and a blue mask with powers of ice and fire?
The toy companies are beginning to make that change. A new line of toys will be called DC Hero Girls. Be on the look out!

Are You a Healthy Superhero?
All smart Cougars need to know how to take care of their body and be fit, that’s why our school had a special presentation on the importance of being healthy and fit. The superheroes that were there to remind us of being healthy were Bobby Blount, NISD's awesome Board Member, Firefighters, and Brauchle Elementary's very own Principal, Ms.Garza. We watched a movie clip about the importance of being healthy so that you can be strong like a superhero. Some highlights were eating special food groups such as: dairy, grains, fruits, and vegetables. Our presenters discussed how we should exercise. Cougars should start their day with breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you don’t eat breakfast then you won’t have the fuel you need to start off your day. If you are in school and you didn’t have breakfast you might feel tired and weak and if it is a test day you might not be focused on what you are doing. Also, try to stay as active as you can. Try to get at least one hour of exercise each day. Then you will be the strong superhero that you want to be. Can you think of other ways you can stay fit and healthy?
