💦 What a fantastic way to wrap up the school year! 💦

Last Friday, our Challengers enjoyed an unforgettable Water Day filled with laughter, fun, and plenty of splashes! Students cooled off on water slides and made wonderful memories with their friends. The weather was perfect, and the smiles on our students’ faces said it all!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this special day possible. We loved celebrating the end of a successful school year with so much fun and excitement. 🚀

🌟 Cavazos Student of the Week! 🌟

Congratulations to Baldemar Pruneda, our outstanding 5th Grade Student of the Week! 🎉👏

Baldemar loves Cavazos because of the friendships he has made, the support of his teachers, and the many opportunities he has been given. 🎶 One of his proudest accomplishments is overcoming his fear of speaking and performing in front of an audience and earning a spot in the District Choir! 🌟🎤

His courage, determination, and willingness to step outside of his comfort zone are truly inspiring. We are so proud of you, Baldemar! Keep reaching for your goals and representing Cavazos with pride! 🎊👏🌟
