Prosper ISD Convocation

Convocation 2021

PROSPER ISD STAFF GATHER TOGETHER TO KICK OFF THE START OF THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR.

Educators often look forward to their annual convocation each year. The kickoff to the school year, convocation provides district staff the opportunity to reconnect with friends they haven’t seen all summer or since the previous year’s convocation and celebrate the possibilities that a new year can bring.

This year’s Prosper ISD Convocation did not disappoint. In addition to student performances and the opportunity to visit with friends, district staff were treated to entertainment from each campus via musical skits. While all of the skits were loads of fun, Bryant Elementary’s Blue Lagoon Synchronized Swimming skit brought down the house and resulted in a complimentary staff lunch graciously provided by Prestonwood North Baptist Church.

After the laughter, came the inspiration. Keynote speaker Chris Norton empowered the staff with his words on overcoming obstacles, being radically responsible, being an encouragement, and remembering that someone is counting on me today. Norton was a college football player left paralyzed after a tackle gone wrong. His inspiring message left staff ready to tackle the year.

Kimberly Church is a new teacher to Prosper ISD at Reynolds Middle School. She “was inspired. I laughed, I cried, and knew I was where I belonged. I’ve never seen anything like it; it’s like a blend between The Price Is Right and a Ted Talk curated just for you.There is a recipe here and every interaction I have with Prosper ISD has a remnant of that secret sauce. It is clear why Prosper ISD is a destination district for so many staff.”

“I always enjoy convocation because it’s the one time each year that we get together with the entire district. It’s nice to see the accomplishments and accolades of others throughout Prosper ISD and feel the excitement of everyone for the upcoming school year.” - Natalie Merrill, PHS Teacher
