The Luling ISD Board of Trustees recognized the November Spotlight Staff Member and Students tonight. Staff member CiCi Keilman and students Jayden Hernandez and Ronderick Hughey (EJ) were present and able to hear how much we appreciate them!
Students are applying the information they have been learning about healthy communication and conflict resolution skills by analyzing different scenarios. The analysis and discussions allow students to learn more about themselves and others.
Next week is national Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. Luling ISD will participate in a food and hygiene drive in recognition of this important week.
Please send nonperishable food and hygiene items with your child next Monday through Friday. The class with the most items from each campus will win a pizza party!
Today's Junior High Girls Basketball Game at Randolph has been cancelled.
During the month of November, Shanklin Elementary students are learning about types of bullying, what to do if you are being bullied, how to be a superhero bystander and how to help those who are being bullied.

Gerdes Junior High ACE students made soap this week and had a blast! If you want to join ACE and do fun activities like soap making, robotics, and cooking, contact Ms. Carrillo or Ms. Meshell to let them know you’re interested.
Students at Gerdes have been learning healthy communication and conflict resolution skills. Effective communication plays a key role in conflict resolution and these skills are beneficial not only today, but throughout their lives.
HUGE thank you to the Luling Lions Club for a VERY generous donation to the district. These funds will be used to help students in need. Thank you Lions Club and Perla Castro for advocating for our students!
During the school year, each campus at Luling ISD will be working on No Place for Hate activities.

It's Election Day and even our youngest students are 'voting' for President: Grace or Duck! The Pre-K teachers read the students both books and then let them vote by a secret ballot. It looks like it's Duck for President!
Everyday we are one day closer to our new elementary school being complete!
