WACO, Texas (KWTX) - 16 students from Belton and Lake Belton high schools were selected for the Texas Music Educators Association All-Region Jazz band. 9 are area qualifiers and will audition for the All-State jazz band. The students will participate in a music clinic and performance on November 19 at Temple High School.

We want to shout out Killeen ISD 1st grade teacher, Lindsey Smith, and media aid, Tonya Twiggs, for receiving the B.A.R.K award. B.A.R.K stands for Benevolent, Authentic, Radiant, and Kind-Hearted! The award goes to one teacher and one support staff member who each embody the spirit of Fowler Elementary.

Lorena Elementary School students have surpassed their $10,000 fundraising goal. The money raised will go towards field trips and student incentives. They raised this money through acts of kindness and serving the community instead of selling things. Hard work definitely pays off!

We want to wish a Happy 18th birthday to Miniya Cox. Your family says they love and adore you. Miniya is a senior at Connally High School. She is graduating this year and heading off to college to become a pediatrician.

Let’s also wish a Happy Birthday to Maya Montero-Bonilla who’s our digital producer Angie’s mom. Angie put this as a surprise to show her how much her family loves her and appreciates her.

And a very special Happy Birthday our very own Ally Kadlubar! She has been with us for about three months now and has been a blast to work with. She is super fun and friendly and we wish her the best birthday! Your Grandparents say they love watching you every morning!
