Carter Poore takes a big bite of olive and pepperoni pizza. The pizza slice was much larger than her head. "The pizza was really good," Poore said. "It was so big that I brought it home as leftovers for the next day."

Gina Hinojosa is the new theater teacher at McNeil. She was hired a couple weeks into the school year. “I was offered a few teaching jobs in different parts of Texas that for some reason just didn't feel like they were the right moves for me,” Hinajosa said. “As cliche as it sounds, I had decided that the offers didn't feel right and for some reason had a feeling that something else was going to pop up even though we were a week into the new school year and that is a very unlikely thing to happen. The morning I declined my offers, a friend who's also new to Round Rock ISD told me about the McNeil position and what they were looking for. I just thought, ‘there's no way.’”

Planning to rescue Hermeeone, Stanley Bond as Harry Potter portrays talking to Ron Weasley by personifying a mop. Bond didn’t anticipate that the play would run as smoothly as it did. “Things started to click together later on in the production when people were finding their way and making stronger choices,” Bond said. “What I didn’t expect was that things were just getting better everyday.”
