Get ready for some Thanksgiving fun on campus! Starting Monday, November 16, students can buy turkey feathers for just $0.25 each to vote for which teacher they want to see dressed up like a turkey! It’s always a blast seeing our students rally together and our teachers be such great sports. Send those quarters in next week—who do you think will win?

We wrapped up our first-ever Celebrity Reader Event, and it was an unforgettable day! A massive thank you to all of our incredible guest readers—from our local officers and community leaders to special guests—who took time out of their busy schedules to share their love of reading with our students.

Such a special day for our 2nd graders! Every single second-grade student in our district received a brand-new book of their very own to take home and spark a lifelong love of reading. A massive thank you to Megan Speir for pursuing her wonderful dream of putting books directly into children's hands and for choosing our school as a recipient! We appreciate your dedication to literacy and our students so much! We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Tommy Gaines, Scholar Source (Lake Jackson), and AVC Media for partnering together to make this incredible gift possible for our entire district. Community support like this makes all the difference!

From hard-working students earning certificates in class and standing out with out-of-this-world efforts, to our dedicated team members who bring their best every single day—there is so much to be proud of across our school.

We held our very first Accelerated Reader (AR) Parade of the school year! These hard-working first graders have been reading their little hearts out, and their dedication paid off—they each earned 10 AR points! To celebrate hitting this awesome milestone, they earned a victory run through the cheered-on hallways and received their official "Rancho Isabella Super Reader" t-shirts.

From staff shout-outs to student reading milestones, we love highlighting the positive moments that happen in our halls daily. Keep up the incredible work, everyone!

Congratulations to our incredible Second Graders—the grand prize winners of our school-wide Haunted Hallways candy collection challenge! As their well-deserved reward, they enjoyed a fun ice cream social, filling the cafeteria with sweet treats and even sweeter smiles. We extend a huge and heartfelt THANK YOU to all the families and community members who donated so much candy to make Haunted Hallways such a spectacular success back on October 28th. Your support makes all the difference for our students! We are already counting down the days until next year.

We love taking time out of the day to celebrate student achievements and positive choices across our campus. Shoutout to our amazing kids and teachers making great things happen every single day!

PTO Meeting Update: Today’s scheduled PTO meeting is being rescheduled for next Monday at the same time and place. Thank you for your flexibility and continued support of our school community—we look forward to connecting with you next week! See you then!
