A Texas Celebration

Kids in Georgetown’s public schools kicked up their heels and donned their cowboy hats last week as they celebrated Texas independence in elementary schools, including McCoy Elementary, Village Elementary and Annie Purl Elementary School.   McCoy Elementary first graders Ja’mire Abrams and Andres Garza, both 6, were learning a little about the Texas two-step and the chicken dance.    McCoy fifth grader Ethan Garner donned a coonskin cap and portrayed Davey Crockett at the Battle of the Alamo.   Village kindergartener Maggie Davis, 5, showed off her fancy roping skills.   And Annie Purl second grader Alexis Rodriguez, 8, knew when to politely tip his cowboy hat.   I’ve said it before, but I don’t recall many states that so completely embrace their culture and traditions.   That’s a good thing, folks.
