THIS BABY IS NOT JUST CUTE, SHE'S SMART AS A WHIP

(Ed's Note: Being parents as we are, we have a weakness for cute babies and smart kids. This young lady, a student at Oliveira Middle School is near and dear to us. Her parents and friends tell us that Marisol Isabel here is not only a cutie, but also a straight A student as her trophy demonstrates. She and her brothers used to be students at Hudson Elementary, the Oliveira feeder school when Dr. Rita Hernandez used to be principal there and they still recall her tenure fondly. Ms. Hernandez is now an Area Assistant Superintendent for the Pace/Veterans Clusters with the Brownsville Independent School District. She is also the surrogate daughter of Texas Southmost College trustee Adela Garza and keeps a photo of her brother Miguel Angel and her with Ms. Garza when she was the chief of staff for congressman Blake Farenthold. As if that wasn't enough, she also has politics in her blood and has worked on campaigns including Catalina Presas-Garcia's first try at public office as city commissioner. Congrats Marisol! Keep up the good work.)
