Recently, some students attended the Link-Up conference held on October 11, 2008, at the George R. Brown Convention Center. Assistant Principal Thomas Day and I accompanied the F. M. Black Link-Up Student Representatives: Toddarius Davis (7th Grade), Marvin Saines (7th Grade), Shannessa Tharbs (7th Grade), Shataqua Tatum (7th Grade), Dennis Espinoza (6th Grade), & Georgette Rivera (6th Grade). Link-Up is a collaborative program between HISD, Girl Scouts of America, 4-H, and the YMCA. It's open to students, parents, and all community members and was organized to assist in the implementation of positive programs throughout the City of Houston and to increase pride, participation, and a partnership between HISD schools and their surrounding community. by: Elizabeth Smith, Science Teacher 6th Grade
