🐶❤️ Our Cougars had the sweetest visit from Penny, McAllen ISD’s emotional support dog! There’s just something special about a wagging tail and puppy love that can brighten an entire school day! A HUGE shout-out to Officer Avila, Penny’s handler, for sharing her with our students and for the care, patience, and positivity he brings along with her. We are so grateful for both of you! 💚💛

☀️🔍 Learning is shining bright at SHE! Our kindergarten Cougars became little scientists as they explored light and shadows through hands-on learning. Students observed how shadows are created and discovered how light helps us see the world around us—bringing science to life! We love seeing our youngest learners wonder, explore, and discover! 🔦👤

🌳🌱 Something exciting is growing at SHE! We are thrilled to be part of Quinta Mazatlan’s Schoolyard Forest initiative! This special project will bring nature and hands-on learning right into our tiny forest while helping our Cougars develop a love and appreciation for the environment. Tiny forest. BIG possibilities! 🦋🌿
