Winters ISD

Mandatory Cheerleading Parent Meeting this Wednesday February 7th at 6:30pm in the HS auditorium. Parent and student trying out must both be present at the meeting.

On Saturday, a group of third, fourth and fifth grade girls, as well as several “Power Women” (moms, aunts, grandparents, etc.) had the privilege of attending the GiRL Power Event at Angelo State University, organized by the Laura Bush Institute. It was an afternoon of fun, filled with great information about V.A.L.U.E., and reinforcing self-worth in these young ladies! They got to participate in some awesome physics demonstrations by the ASU physics club. They got to hear from a local panel of women in a variety of career clusters, including the winner of the Food Network Holiday Cookie Challenge, a police officer, an artist, a nurse and a soccer athlete. They were engaged, encouraged and enriched! And the parents were given tools to take care of themselves and combat “Depleted Mom Syndrome”. This was then followed by a visit with the reigning Miss Texas, who had a message for the girls. It was such a fantastic time! Thank you to all the wonderful speakers and thank you to the staff that came along to support our Blizzards!

🚨Every student who plans to attend a community college, 4-year university, trade school or take dual credit next year should complete the FAFSA. It is also a graduation requirement now. Come to our FAFSA night for additional support!
