Lackland Students Compete in Regional Science Fair
Eo’in Devine and Cody Heiser, Lackland Elementary
6th grade students, participated in the 56th annual
Alamo Regional Science and Engineering Fair at St.
Mary’s University over the weekend of 3-4 March,
with final judging on Monday, March 5. Eo’in Devine
earned a second place ribbon in the Junior
Division/Biochemistry and will advance to the Exxon
Mobil Texas State Science and Engineering Fair, to
be held at the Henry B. Gonzales Arena from March
29-April 1, 2012.
Eo’in and Cody were winners at the Lackland Science
Fair and advanced to the Regional Science
Fair. They spent many hours outside of school
fine-tuning their projects for the regional
competition. Their parents were supportive of their
efforts and provided that much-needed motivation
to keep pushing forward. Ms. Monica Fonseca,
Lackland Elementary Science and Math Facilitator,
worked hard behind the scenes to ensure both boys
were technically ready for the competition. We
thank her for hours of assistance.

Ten Questions with Mrs. Brock Stacey Band and Choir Director
By: Alaya Keane, Freshman
1. How did you first start getting involved in music?
“I’ve listened to and played music all of my life, but I didn’t know I wanted to be a
band director until I was in graduate school in college and ended up finishing the
school year for a band director that had to leave his position.”
2. How did you learn to play the piano?
“My mother taught me piano when I was very little. I took formal lessons for about 2
months, but hated it, so I went back to letting my mom teach me.”
3. Can you play any other instruments?
“I play most all of the band instruments we use regularly. That’s part of the classes
we take in college.”
4. Is anyone in your family in the military?
“No. The closest tie I have to the Air Force is my maternal grandfather.”
5. What do you like to do when you're not at work?
“Mostly I have a great time with Sophie, my 2 year old daughter. I also love Sudoku!”
6. Do you have any pets?
“I have 3 dogs - Indiana, an Australian shepherd, Savannah, a yellow lab and Dakota,
a blue heeler.”
7. What was the first musical concert you went to?
“Hard to say, really… I can tell you that my all-time favorite concert was James
Galway (famous flutist) when he came to San Antonio several years ago.”
8. What is one of your all-time favorite songs?
“Hotel California by the Eagles.”
9. How long have you been teaching music?
“This year will be my 14th formal year of teaching.”
10. Did you have any other jobs before you came to Stacey?
“Several – I taught in several small districts in Texas, including Mertzon, Miles, Grape
Creek and Eden. I also worked at an adolescent counseling center for several years.”

University of Texas Field
Trip
Written by Meagan Fleming
The 8th graders of Stacey Jr/Sr High went on a field trip to the University of Texas in Austin. I asked a few students what they thought of the trip.
“My favorite part was when we saw a floating gold cube in liquid nitrogen, which was levitating,” said Brandon Armstead.
Danielle Lipsey stated, “I thought the turtles were really cute and funny!”
“I liked going into the dorms and seeing how big they were and what it was like. I also liked making a sun-print paper because it was something that I had never done before,” Vimarys Oliveras said.
Our trip was very interesting... a few students ate meal worms, got to have their picture on the cover of a magazine at a “photo-shoot”, and saw a 3-D printer.
We, the students, are very pleased to have had the opportunity to travel there and check things out. We also thank Mrs. Duron, Mrs. Caldwell, and our bus driver, Ms. Maria, for taking us. We have a better idea of
what college life is like and some different areas to look at in career choices.

The sky is falling!!!! No it is just a bunch of 1st grade drawings hanging on the ceiling of their building. In Mr. Garcia’s art class they listened to a story about floating down from the Tower of
the Americas after we all went there together. They then had to trace their hands and feet in the corners of a large paper and fill
in their body. They enjoyed it very much and did a great job!

PREPARED TO SAVE A LIFE
This week the Stacey Child Development class learned some life-saving skills. They had the opportunity to take the American Red Cross Adult, Child, and Infant CPR
Course. They also learned First Aid and how to use the AED. During this training, students learned the emergency action steps: Check, Call, and Care. During the day students practiced CPR on the mannequins until the instructor observed that the skill
was mastered. Students learned what to do if when someone is choking, having a seizure, experiencing sudden fevers, a stroke, and a diabetic emergencies. Wrapping an open wound and making a sling were some other first aid skills that were acquired. The
certificate that the students earned is valid for two years.
