I wanted this year's Back-to-School Convocation to highlight the 'magic of Sheldon ISD' and no one could have done a better job than Billy Riggs with setting the tone for that day. From his illusions to the insightful sharing of his life, Mr. Riggs emphasized that the ability to do great things lies within each of us ... all we have to do is find our 'magic.' Our staff enjoyed him so much that they've asked us to allow him to return at a later date for a refresher! His magic is not of the hat and wand --- it's of the heart!
