Our Jaguar families had an amazing time at the Summer Swim Send Off making memories, enjoying the sunshine, and celebrating a fantastic school year together. Thank you to our incredible PTO for sponsoring this event for our students and families — we appreciate all you do to support our school community! 💙💛

One final project for Ms. Acosta’s 3rd graders; they put their math skills and creativity to work by designing their very own math games aligned to Kindergarten TEKS! 🎲➕ ➖
They then got to partner up with Mrs. Cadena and Ms. Watson’s kindergarten students to teach, play, and learn together. It was so much fun watching our Jaguars collaborate, encourage one another, and make math engaging for everyone! 💙🐾
