Remember that episode of “Seinfeld” where Jerry and Sheila (Jerry’s girlfriend for one episode) call each other “schmoopie”? This schmaltzy, saccharine show of cutesy nicknaming made the rest of the gang sick. Most people remember this episode for the “Soup Nazi” yelling “No soup for you!” I, however, can’t get the babytalk nicknames out of my mind.

Sealy Main Street is ready to keep the ball rolling! The past year has been spent setting the program up for success. Thanks to Sealy EDC Director Kimbra Hill and the submission of her Strategic Plan (which can be viewed on our website at SealyEDC.com/ MainStreet) we are now officially a certified Main Street District with the Main Street of America program.

The Sealy Tiger spring tennis team collected top finishes from the Wharton Tournament last week and earned two gold medals, a silver medal and two more bronze medals in the antepenultimate match before the District 24-4A Championship April 12 and 13.

Sealy Junior High’s Gavin Almaguer recently broke his own record in the 2400-meter run and collected his third record-breaking performance this year. Almaguer set the record earlier this month at 8:06.94 and re-set it with a time of 7:55 last Wednesday at T.J. Mills Stadium. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
