For young men in America, sports could be a solution for what experts deem a neglected and overlooked crisis of connection.

Schools like L.D. Bell and North Forney have created bonding opportunities for athletes in their programs.

Our seniors are going places! Before they walk across the stage, they’re following Gulliver as he travels to new lands.

@robinrox @CommunityCFB @williamlies247 Exactly! Magical! We skipped the shuttle and walked back to the Pasadena train station after the game. I swear my feet barely touched the sidewalk!

@iUP_MrsJones Congrats!

Happy 459th birthday, Shakespeare! Our senior scholars celebrated the Bard’s birth by translating song lyrics and birthday greetings into Shakespeare’s language, composing raps, and posing with props. #ShakespearesBirthday

What a gift Mr. Brown gave me when he took a chance on the rookie from Austin! Countless colleagues, students, and opportunities came into my life thanks to Bell High School, and I’m forever grateful. 2/2

After 32 years at L.D. Bell High School, I’m now down to my last 32 days. Yes, I’m retiring from teaching at the end of this school year! It’s been a wild ride, from journalism and photography to English 2, 3, and 4, from the TAAS to the TAKS to the STAAR. 1/2

[Charis Weiss @WeissBHS]

Great opportunity! 🤘🏻

It was a thrill to be part of the #WFinalFour as a volunteer! I had so much fun helping at #TourneyTown that I went back as an attendee to take in all the hoopla. Bonus photo op: meeting Tamika Catchings, the WNBA and Olympic legend.

Downtown Dallas: Thanks-Giving Square, @DallasMuseumArt, @nashersculpture, and @FletchersDogs at Klyde Warren. Happy #SpringBreak2023!

Strike a pose! Senior English students created tableaux to depict moments from Macbeth on this last day before spring break. It’s fun to see how they interpret their scenes!

[Charis Weiss @WeissBHS]

L.D. Bell English teachers never stop learning! We added some strategies to our EOC toolbox at Tuesday’s ELAR Instructional Planning meeting.
