We are less than 40 days away from the WCYF, and our students have been working hard to prepare for the show. Saturday, we hosted a chapter progress show to spotlight the students and get some critiques so we will be ready come March.
Not only did our students take on the ring, but so did some great faculty and staff! We had receptionists, teachers of all grade levels, administrators, occupational therapist, instructional coaches, librarians, and paras all give up their Saturday morning to support the students and exhibit their animals. A big, big thank you for investing in our students in and out of the classroom!

During last night’s board meeting, we took a moment to celebrate several outstanding Ricebirds! We began by recognizing the seven dedicated volunteers who selflessly serve on the El Campo ISD Board of Trustees. Next, we acknowledged our Remarkable Ricebirds: Michelle Fernandez, the Elementary Parent Liaison; Nick Popp from El Campo Middle School; and BJ Swenson from El Campo High School. Finally, we concluded by honoring Trent Popp, who was named the 4A Assistant Coach of the Year by the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association.

 The Board discussed options for the 2026-2027 calendar and approved several agenda items.

PreK spent last week reading different versions of the Gingerbread Man, and on Friday, they made one. Thank you to the cafeteria for baking him for us. The Gingerbread Man jumped out of the oven, and the PreK classes had to go on a hunt using clues that the Gingerbread Man left for them to find him. Once they found him, everyone enjoyed a piece of The Gingerbread Man!

A huge and heartfelt thank you to Greg Anderson from our very own El Campo Post Office for personally delivering Santa’s letters to our Pre-K students. The joy on their faces was priceless as they realized Santa took the time to read and respond to each of their letters. This truly made their holiday season extra special!
