We would like to announce our CTMS Wolf Way Teacher of the Month award winner for the month of October. Here at CTMS we hold all members of the pack to the same expectations of following the Wolf Way. Just as we recognize our students, we want to recognize our staff that are upholding the wolf way here on campus.
Students were given the opportunity to nominate one staff member for being Kind, Respectful and Responsible. From those nominations, we have chosen the Wolf Way Teacher of the Month. Here are a few comments made by students who submitted a nomination.
He is kind and respectful as he teaches and respects our knowledge and questions….
He makes every student interested in math, and is constantly supportive of everyone, making sure that people know what they're doing, and that they're learning in the most conducive learning environment.
He is a very kind person, and will help you if you need help. He has been seen creating student-teacher relationships with his students. He is also very responsible, as he keeps us safe and makes sure to lock the door.
He is respectful to all his students and fellow staff. He shows his kindness to his students while giving them enough time to finish the homework, letting them ask questions, and always being very understanding. He is responsible for his students by setting high achievable expectations that he will help them reach.
The Wolf Way Teacher of the Month is..... Mr. Barnard!!!
Twin Day! You are not alone.
Love that our staff twinned with students and several dressed up as Mr. Massey. #RedRibbonWeek2023

It's Teacher Tidbit Tuesday, and today we're featuring Chris Hrenko!
Chris's wife made him move here 16 years ago, from Maryland, and today he'll tell you it was the best decision EVER. He owns a farm in Virginia that is home to 13 pairs of bald eagles, and his neighbors are the Rappahannock Native American tribe. He was the first person in his family to earn a master's degree (from George Washington University), and his favorite thing about being a teacher is being able to model KINDNESS. (His 2nd favorite thing is showing students that MATH is NOT THAT BAD!!) He has been the boys' soccer coach at CTMS for 8 years! CTMS is the only school in TX he's ever taught at, and he hopes to retire here!
And now a note from your humble librarian... Chris Hrenko is one of the best humans on the planet. We started a new tradition this year and have students vote for a Teacher of the Month. It was no surprise that Mr. Hrenko was our very first winner. We are so thankful that he's a member of our Pack.
Update 9:22 a.m.: Power at CTMS has been restored and systems are beginning to come back online. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

It's time for Teacher Tidbit Tuesday! Today we're featuring Bailey Gross, CTE teacher and yearbook sponsor. Bailey is a Red Raider and goes to as many Tech sporting events that she can. Her least favorite subject in middle school was maths, until she had two amazing maths teachers who made her love it so much that she became a maths teacher before crossing to the CTE world. In fact, she was an 8th grade maths teacher at CTMS, left for two years, then returned back to the Wolf Pack!
This humble librarian would also like to share that Bailey has an infectious laugh, is amazing at building relationships with students, and is a legit Swiftie, currently living her best era.
