CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Board of Director’s Meeting

Thurs., April 18, 2010 @ 7am

Chamber Conference Room

Tanco Creations joined the Springtown Area Chamber of

Commerce in October 2009. Tanco is a family owned and operated jewelry store that has been serving the Spring-

town, Azle and surrounding areas and customers across

the United States for over two decades.

Our store carries a variety of jewelry styles from tradi-

tional to unique, in gold, platinum, sterling silver, titanium and steel. Also, we can make or special order non-stock

items.

All jewelry repair is done in house. With the laser welder,

many items can be expertly repaired that would not be

possible with the traditional methods. From a chain repair

to ring sizing to a custom designed piece of jewelry is

business as usual at Tanco Creations.

Tanco Creations is located at 401 N.W. Parkway (on the

service road of 199) in Azle.

We strive to give the very best service with the utmost in-

tegrity. We are blessed to have a great staff and a host of

wonderful customers.

Tanco Creations Jewelry hours of operation are Tues-

day—Friday from 10:00am—6:00pm and Saturdays from

10:00am—2:00pm.

Springtown Students are State Bound

Each year, Springtown students represent the District at the state level

in competition ranging from music to academic events to athletic

events. Our Springtown students compete well with other high school

students from across Texas.

Band UIL Solo & Ensemble – The Region 2 UIL Solo & Ensemble

contest was held at Northwest High School. Sixty-two students from

the Sound of Springtown competed in this competition and earned 77

medals. Out of those 77 medals, 54 advanced to State competition,

which will be held at The University of Texas on May 31.

Choir UIL Solo & Ensemble - Springtown ISD is making great

strides in its goal to have a first rate choral program. Choral directors

Kelly Bishop and Christi Lujan are doing it the right way by develop-

ing individual choir members. In the UIL Solo-Ensemble Contest

recently held at Gainesville High School, SHS choir members brought

back over 50 UIL Division One medals, with 10 soloists and 2 large

ensembles advancing to state! In order to advance to state, the UIL

requires performers to score a Division One rating on a Class One

event. Class One in UIL means that they perform music literature that

is college or professional level in difficulty.

Girl’s Powerlifting – One of our female high school students will

advance to the state level for competition in powerlifting.

Business Professionals of America (BPA) – One of our female high

school students won first place in Payroll Accounting at the State

BPA Conference.

All-State Basketball – One Lady Porcupine earned the ultimate indi-

vidual basketball award from the Texas Girls Coaches Association

(TGCA). She was picked 4A All-State by TGCA.

4A Region II Swimming Championship – This is the first time that

Springtown has had a swimmer to compete in high school swimming,

and to advance to Regional Competition! Our Springtown swimmer

placed third in the 500 meter freestyle, winning the bronze medal. He

placed fourth in the 100 meter breaststroke. Winners from each re-

gion and the next eight fastest times automatically qualify for the state

meet. The SHS swimmer barely missed the cut-off in the 500 meter

freestyle and had a faster time than other regional winners. Our re-

gion is one of the most competitive in the state. Overall, he earned 31

points for Springtown High School, which ranked the men’s team

15th of 23. Not bad for the lone Porcupine!

Cosmetology State Contest—Congratulations to two high school

students advancing to state in cosmetology. These students currently

attend cosmetology school at Weatherford High School.

High achievement is usually the result of many positive factors—

initiative, ability, parental influence, dedicated staff members, school

environment, and community support. We are blessed at Springtown

ISD and extremely proud of the students and their many academic and

athletic accomplishments.
