 Joy James Elementary students held an assembly on January 5th to recognize Dr. Bob Mullen for his leadership and service to our school district as President of the Castleberry ISD Board of Directors. Dr. Mullen was joined by his wife, Terri Mullen who teaches at Castleberry High School, and his daughter Debra Mullen, a kinesiology student at the University of North Texas. Students presented Dr. Mullen with a book of photographs and notes of appreciation. Dr. Mullen spoke to the students about his educational journey, his careers, and his musical experiences. He played a short song on his trombone, one of several brass instruments that hi plays with the River Oaks Low Brass Ensemble. Dr. Mullen spoke of the importance of education but told the students that it is equally important to learn how to get along with different people and to respect authority. He also encouraged the students to explore the fine arts, such as band, choir, or visual arts, which add interest and creativity to our lives. Above all, Dr. Mullen told the students that learning is a life-long process, one that he has clearly modeled in his roles as minister, counselor, chaplain, music instructor, parent, and school board member. Joy James Elementary appreciates you, Dr. Mullen for your service to our district.
