INTRODUCING GRAND AND SENIOR MULES!

As part of ongoing efforts to engage with members of the Alamo Heights community, the District introduced the Grand(parent) and Senior (Citizen) Mules program this year.

Three events were held during the fall and spring to bring participants inside AHISD schools to meet with district leaders and students.

Lifelong AHISD parent and grandparent, Pamela Bryant, participated in the January event held at Woodridge Elementary.

“The love here is palpable,” Bryant said, “I love everything about [Woodridge Elementary] and this district and I’m forever grateful. Deeply, deeply grateful.”

Linda Cornwell, a recent transplant from Indiana and a lifelong educator, was impressed with the staff’s dedication beyond academics.

“[The district] has a focus on the whole child and social-emotional learning which is so critical, I think, in today’s world,” Cornwell said. “I’ve seen a lot of school districts in my work across the country and I’ve never seen one that’s so comprehensive and so holistic and wonderful as Alamo Heights.”

Participants received a Grand-Mule/Senior Mule t-shirt and a Gold Card which grants free admission to regular season athletic events and free swimming at the Natatorium from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. weekdays.

Additional events will be scheduled during the 202324 school year.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!

Be on the lookout for the new Junior School Champions! Seventeen parent (and grandparent) volunteers completed training to provide the campus with extra adults to help the school, staff, and students. They started on campus in February and are easy to spot in their bright yellow vests with the Champions logo!
