Soccer

The soccer team continues to courageousley drive forward in round four of playoffs and there are 32 teams left. We will be playing against Humble's Kingwood Park, who are 22-0-1 and we are 16-3-2. However, they have never see our speed or strong offense yet and we will prove to them that we are nothing to be taken lightly. If we win this game we will be in the sweet 16, and our next opponent will be the winner of Houston Lee OR Del Valle at the Regional Tourney this weekend.

Did You Know? (Follow-Up to "From Daughter to Mother in High School???")

* Manor ISD provides services to the pregnant teens in our district. Those include medical services, counseling services, parenting classes, and transportation to and from school.

Once the baby is born, the moms are entitled to homebound services for a period of 6 weeks. At the end of 6 weeks, MISD will provide transportation for the mom and the baby to school. The mom can attend school while the baby is in daycare.

We want those of you who become pregnant and have a baby to finish school and get your diplomas. This will prepare you to be able to support your child and take on the responsibilities of being a parent.


* Over the last 2 years, there has been an increase in the number of pregnancies among teens.
Pregnant teens are at high-risk for dropping out of school. They are also considered a "high risk" pregnancy. They have a greater risk of delivering premature babies, low birth weight babies, and babies with other "medical risks".

This is more than enough information to make those of you who think you're ready for a child take a step back and realize what you are risking for not only yourself , but an innocent child.
