Boshears Center for Exceptional Programs - Boshears Exceeding Expectations

🎉 **Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month!** 🎉

Our elementary students celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month through hands-on activities, sensory experiences, music, and fun! Students rotated through stations where they made and tasted fresh salsa, guacamole, corn tortillas, and elote! 🌽🥑🍅

The celebration continued with music and dancing, trying on sombreros, and learning about Hispanic cultures and traditions. 🎶

It was a fun-filled day of learning, exploring, and celebrating Hispanic heritage and culture! ❤️

🎡 Boshears Wheelchair Dancers Take the Fair! 🎡

Our **Boshears Wheelchair Dancers** took their talents to the East Texas State Fair and put on an amazing performance!

We are so proud of our dancers for sharing their joy, talent, and love of performing with the East Texas community. They rolled onto the stage and showed everyone just how brightly our Boshears Bees can shine! 🐝💛🖤

🎡🐝 Step Right Up for Roundup Day! 🤠

Boshears had a rootin’ tootin’ good time celebrating East Texas State Fair Roundup Day! Our students enjoyed midway-style games, a fun “petting zoo,” and showing off their best western wear!

It was a day full of smiles, laughter, and fair-time fun! 🎟️🐝💛🖤

Happy National Principal’s Day! 🎉
Today, we are proud to recognize our incredible Director, Brooke Parker.
Brooke began her career in 2002 at the St. Louis Center, now the Wayne D. Boshears Center, and has dedicated herself ever since to serving students with special needs. Over the years, she has grown in leadership and impact across many roles. From supporting staff and students as Assistant Technology Manager to serving as Assistant Director, Brooke has led with purpose every step of the way. For the past 9 years, she has faithfully served as Director of The Wayne D. Boshears Center.
Brooke is deeply committed to meeting the needs of our students and families. Her caring nature, professionalism, and servant leadership shine through in all she does, and she represents our district and program with excellence every day.
Thank you, Brooke, for your years of dedication and for all you do for our students, staff, and families! 💙

As we celebrate Assistant Principal Week, we are honored to recognize and celebrate Mrs. Lora King of the Wayne D. Boshears Center for her remarkable service and lasting impact.
For the past nine years, Mrs. King has served as Assistant Principal with dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to students, staff, and families. Her leadership has helped shape a positive and supportive environment where all students are valued and encouraged to succeed. She has been a steady presence, a problem-solver, and a champion for both students and educators.
Mrs. King’s ability to lead with both strength and heart has made a meaningful difference in the daily lives of those around her. Whether supporting staff, celebrating student successes, or navigating challenges with grace, she has consistently gone above and beyond.
As she prepares to retire at the end of this school year, we celebrate not only her years of service, but the legacy she leaves behind—one of kindness, dedication, and excellence in education. The Wayne D. Boshears Center is a better place because of Mrs. King, and she will be deeply missed.

Congratulations, Mrs. King, on a well-deserved retirement, and thank you for nine incredible years of leadership and care.

Happy Paraprofessional Appreciation Day to the incredible individuals who help keep The Boshears Center running strong. Your support in the classroom, along with your dedication, reliability, and genuine care, makes a difference each and every day.

April 2 – Paraprofessional Appreciation Day Today marks a special occasion where we honor the unsung heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make our classrooms vibrant and supportive. On this Paraprofessional Appreciation Day, I find myself reflecting on the immense impact that Tammy Hambric and Kierra Mallard have on our school community. Tammy, with her constant enthusiasm and infectious energy, embodies the essence of the Upbeat Award. Her presence alone lifts spirits and inspires all who are around her. She brings a level of positivity that is simply unmatched, and it is a joy to watch her work with the students, creating an environment full of hope and laughter. Kierra, on the other hand, exemplifies the calm, steady reassurance that is the hallmark of the Easy Going Award. Her gentle nature and flexibility make her a calming force in the classroom, helping students navigate their day with ease and confidence. She knows exactly when to step in and when to give space, always ensuring that every student feels heard and supported. To show my gratitude, I gave them both small tokens of appreciation—reminders of how much they are loved and valued. Their contributions to our classroom are immeasurable, and I am thankful every day for their hard work and unwavering support. Today, I celebrate them, but truly, every day is a celebration of all they do for our students, our school, and me. 💙

A heartfelt thank you to all the paraprofessionals at the Wayne D. Boshears Center! Your dedication and hard work make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students every day. We appreciate all that you do!

Congratulations to Jessica Dene, Fiona Thurmond and Sarah Kolac in being award a $3,330.00 grant named “Empowering Independence Daily Living Skills for Life”. This grant will make an impact on students for several years.

The Boshears Center extends heartfelt thanks to our bus drivers for their dedication and hard work. Your commitment to safely transporting our students is deeply appreciated. The PTA Breakfast for Bus Staff is a small token of our gratitude for everything you do!

Congratulations to the following staff members for their years of service. 10 Years – Shanda Warren, Amy Littlejohn and Lori King. 5 Years - LaShauni Wiltz and Elise Sicotte.

Happy School Officer Appreciation Day to our very own Officer Bob! We appreciate all he does for the Boshears Family!!!
