The Nutshell » San Antonio Day of Discovery
The temperature in San Antonio hit record lows on Saturday morning, December 5th, but the energy level at Woodridge Elementrary hit record highs as 90 Texas educators assembled to gather ideas for their classrooms.

The Nutshell » Back to School in Houston
When most teachers have to start thinking about letting go of their summer and start preparing for the fall, they do so reluctantly. Not in Fort Bend and Houston ISDs!
