Betsabe Guzman is 13 years old and recently came to Tatum from Anson Jones Middle School in San Antonio, Texas. So far she said that it is more peaceful and quiet here compared to her old school. Math is her favorite subject because it is easy to her. Her favorite sports are soccer and volleyball and I imagine she is an awesome player also. Mrs. Garcia is her favorite teacher and we all know Mrs. Garcia’s fun loving personality. In her spare time she likes to spend time with her little brother.

Denise Hernandez is 14 and just joined Tatum Middle School a few weeks ago. She came from T.W. Brown in Dallas,Texas. So far she said Tatum is a nice place, but she hasn’t gotten use to it yet. It’s a change compared to her old school. She doesn’t really have a favorite subject at the moment but if she had to choose it would be math. The amazing teacher that teaches it, Mrs. Ford, is also her favorite teacher because she’s nice and funny and that makes her laugh which makes her class the best too to her. If you haven’t met Denise yet feel free to welcome her and make her feel at home because she is apart of our school family now.

This week, Tatum recieved a new 8th grader at TMS. Who yo may wonder? The one and only, Harlie Evans from Tenaha ISD. Harlie plays three sports, softball, track, and basketball. She has 4 siblings KP, Grayson, Gracelyn and Stone. She looks up to her father because he’s very successful and a wonderful person in her eyes. Harlie is just a country girl thats spends time with family, go mudding, hunting, and fishing. Her favorite subject in school  would have to be social studies, she wants to learn about what happen before she was born. During her free time, she lives a normal teenage life and spends time with her love ones. Harlie decribes Tatum from her other school as being smaller but also a great school. Even though this just her first week Harlie loves it here! If you see Harlie around, tell her “Hi” and make her welcome.
