AT CHALLENGER COLUMBIA STADIUM
For the fourth consecutive year, the City of Webster partnered with Clear Creek ISD and C3 Studios to sponsor the “Thank a Teacher” special feature at Challenger Columbia Stadium. The 10,000-seat stadium welcomes students, families, educators, and fans from across the region each varsity football season. Behind the scenes, C3 Studios’ student-led production team brings the game to life with live footage, crowd shots, and custom features on the stadium’s high-resolution video board. With the City’s sponsorship, every game highlights a CCISD teacher in a feature video, followed by an invitation for all teachers in the stands to rise so the crowd can properly “Thank a Teacher.” The games run from late August through November, but the process begins much earlier. Over the summer, Marketing and Tourism Specialist Katie
Vela reaches out to Webster businesses with the opportunity to take part in this heart-warming sponsorship, contributing generous gifts for teachers. These items are assembled into Webster-embossed picnic baskets, creating the signature Webster Staycation Basket. Once school is back in session, Mayor Donna Jasso makes her classroom visits, personally delivering the baskets to selected teachers and creating memorable moments with their students. In 2025, eleven teachers received baskets filled with gifts from Webster businesses. And now, after four years of sponsoring the feature, Mayor Jasso has officially visited and delivered at least one basket to every CCISD campus—45 in total. The Thank a Teacher special feature has become a lasting tradition—bringing together the City of Webster, CCISD, Webster businesses, and fans to recognize the educators who make a meaningful difference every day.
