Fun Run Goes Big

Posted on 5:22 PM by School Zone | No comments

Rummel Creek Elementary School students earned serious money for their school in the PTA’s first ever, student-led fundraising fun run.  A 10-day series of events culminated in a final fun-run event on campus, which was held early in the school year.

Kindergarten teacher Michelle Rincon’s class was one of the school’s top earners, collecting the second highest dollars per lap.

Rummel Creek Elementary students and staff are meeting this year on the district transition campus located at Westchester Academy for International Studies.

When completed, Rummel Creek Elementary’s new building will be the 13th new elementary school built under SBISD’s 2007 Bond program.

"Hats On!" Halloween Parade

Posted on 10:22 AM by School Zone | No comments
Administration Building employees strutted their stuff last week on October 31, while wearing hats representing something about themselves. In the Hats On! event, staff members wore hats that expressed each person's heritage or “journey.” Interpretations included ball caps from favorite teams, television show characters, mythical figures, cowboy hats, international hats, a construction hard hat, a pirate hat, a mountain-shaped hat, an improvised brown box hat, an angel halo, a birthday hat and many more.

A hat parade started on the second floor and wound its way down to the building lobby where everyone enjoyed refreshments. During the reception, participants were able to vote for three Peoples’ Choice awards. The winners are:
  • Most Creative Hat:  Ann Vickery
  • Best Heritage Hat:  Corina Ott
  • Best “Journey” Hat:  Alison Tennyson
The Hats On! event was designed to help building employees get to know more about each other, learn each other’s names and enjoy some collegial fun. The occasion will also be submitted as one of the building’s 2014-2015 No Place for Hate activities and one of the Community Relations 2014-2015 Share A Smile customer service activities.
