Dear Seagraves ISD Students, Parents, and Community:
Last week I submitted my formal letter of resignation to the Board of Trustees as I have accepted the position of Superintendent for Lamesa ISD.
It has been an extraordinary privilege and honor to serve the students, teachers, and the entire district community. I want to express my deepest gratitude to each of you for providing me with the opportunity to lead this remarkable school system.
I am immensely proud of the progress we have made together during my tenure. Our collective commitment has led to profound accomplishments that will benefit the community for years to come. Specifically, I reflect with pride on:
Improving academic performance metrics including: implementing a fully paid full-day PreK3 program, the expansion of numerous Industry Based Certifications and college and career pathways, offering dual credit courses for all students, and graduating 27% of students with Associate’s degrees-providing students with diverse opportunities to pursue post-secondary success;
Securing several million dollars in competitive grants, which have directly funded essential programs and resources for our students and staff;
Adopting the first amended surplus budget in decades, while increasing the Fund Balance two years in a row after five years of steady declines;
The successful passing of a pivotal bond referendum, enabling critical upgrades to our facilities and the modernization of our transportation fleet;
Growing our district and Increasing enrollment by 5%; and so much more
These achievements are a testament to the dedication of our Leadership Team and the entire staff, along with the collaborative effort of this board and community.
This was a difficult decision, but I believe it is the right time for me to pursue a new challenge that will propel my career and provide me the opportunity to serve even more students across West Texas.
I am fully committed to ensuring a smooth and effective leadership transition. I will work closely with the board to hand over responsibilities and assist in any way possible to maintain the district’s forward momentum.
Thank you once again for your partnership and support throughout my time here. I will always cherish the memories and wish Seagraves ISD all the best in its continued mission to educate and inspire every student.
Sincerely,
Bonnie Avey
Superintendent, Seagraves ISD

December Mindful Minute From Your School Counselors: When a holiday break begins, there are many positives like having more time for fun and relaxation, but the lack of structure and change in normal routines can increase stress on everyone. Families may experience holiday stress related to grief from the loss of a loved one, financial stress, childcare coordination, or other family changes. Practicing the strategies below can build family resilience. Resilience is a family’s ability to handle stress, bounce back from tough situations, and keep going even when things are hard. These skills help families deal with stress, recover from challenges, and grow stronger through shared experiences. Provide opportunities to acknowledge and communicate feelings: Take time to talk with each other. Naming thoughts and feelings help each person feel grounded in the here and now. Encouraging children to draw or write stories helps them open up about feelings or fears. Focus on the positive: Find opportunities for joy and laughter even during tough times, and remember past successes to build confidence in your collective ability to handle challenges. Take care of your physical health: Set aside time for your family to do a physical activity together, especially outdoors. Also, eating a balanced diet will help increase resilience in all other areas. Navigating through the holiday season can be difficult, but it is also a way to find strength and joy in your family experiences. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND YOURS!
