#BeTheLIGHT

Mrs. Reyes is a perfect example of our motto, #BeTheLIGHT.
She attended her students' baseball games to support their
personal interests.

Our motto for 2019-2020 is "Be the LIGHT".  In order to lead all students to discover their excellence, CISD staff commit to show them the way and to be the light for them to see how awesome they are.  The fourth letter in our LIGHT acronym, H, stands for Heart of Help, and I would like to share what it means to us.

In order to reach our goals (see last week's post), we commit to put our heart into our work but also into everyone around us.  In order to get to our students' brains, we must recognize that all learning starts with the heart.  We know that students and staff members will struggle from time to time and we will be prepared to help them overcome their struggles.


Constitution Day
In honor of “Constitution Day”, First Grade Student, Dylan Darnell from Mrs. Parker’s class, reads to you the Preamble to the United States Constitution.  What an amazing job!!!
