“I'm very excited to be in this class,” Paisley said. “My friend has a tutor with (Leslee Conditt) and she said she's the best teacher. I’m excited for the student council. (I’ll run for) probably not like president, but like, maybe vice president, maybe.”
“This is going to be a very exciting year,” Parker said. “I’m looking forward to all my different classes and seeing what different friends I'll make this year.”
“I mean, it's, you know, it's a little sad,” dad Nick Porter said. “We were at the same school, at Cross Timbers, for five years. I'm excited for them. They play a lot of sports, and so they've made a lot of friends with that. A lot of them are going to be coming to this school together, so I'm glad for them to be able to have more of their friends. We’ve heard nothing but great things with this school. I know they're excited, too.”
