On a chilly afternoon in mid-April, dozens of youngsters gathered outside of Furlough Middle School. There were young kids barely three feet tall, lanky teenagers and kids of all sizes in between.

Live competitions, packed auditoriums, holiday concerts, and more all felt the burden of COVID-19 this year, but that did not stop the students and directors of the Terrell ISD Fine Arts department from rising to the challenge and pressing on with excellent showmanship.

The Terrell ISD school board Monday night recognized the achievements of the Terrell High School boys and girls varsity soccer teams.
