The Exxon Mobil Foundation has generously gifted Leon Taylor Middle School with $5,000 towards any STEM related project or proposal from the campus. We plan on using this money to help fund a computer controlled telescope that will take images of far off planets and objects for our kids to interact and have experiences with. 🪐🚀🔭 These types of ambitions would not be possible without our invested industry partners like Gulf Coast Growth Ventures, and we thank them and their whole team for their generosity.

🎉 Happy Speech Pathologist Day! 🎉 Today, we're taking a moment to celebrate and appreciate the incredible speech pathologists who are an integral part of our school community. To all our dedicated speech pathologists, thank you for your unwavering commitment to helping our students find their voices, overcome challenges, and communicate with confidence. Your expertise, compassion, and tireless efforts make a profound difference in the lives of those you work with. If you see this special crew, give them a shout-out: Michelle Garcia, SLP Vivian Rowland, SLP Ariana Cruz, SLPA Angelica Mendez-Adams, SLPA Whether they're assisting students with speech impediments, language disorders, or other communication difficulties, their impact is truly remarkable. They create a supportive environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive and succeed. We are incredibly grateful for everything they do, not just today, but every day. Their dedication to our students' well-being and success does not go unnoticed. Here's to celebrating them and the invaluable work they do! 🌟

For the month of May, RJ Alvarado, of Leon Taylor Middle School was selected for the Family Matters Award! He was recognized during our School Board Meeting, where he was celebrated for his outstanding efforts. He was also awarded $100 from the Ingleside ISD Education Foundation. Below is an excerpt from the nomination that was submitted on his behalf. "Teacher, Leader, Mentor, Sponsor, Volunteer, Ingleside Alumni, and now State Champion Coach–these are a few characteristics of RJ Alvarado. This young man has made an impact on numerous students in the classroom, and student-athletes on the court, field, and in the weight room. Over the years, Coach Alvarado has been a part of some of the best Math STAAR scores in the district, whether as an Inclusion co-teacher supporting all students or leading his own classroom. Coach Alvarado uses his ability to connect with his students to understand their strengths and weaknesses. This helps him build trust and success while becoming a better teacher and coach. On May 4th, 2024, Coach Alvarado and the Mustang Smoke Show earned a spot and competed in Round Rock, Texas at the HS BBQ State Championship Competition. The Ingleside High School BBQ Team won the HS BBQ State Championship by becoming Grand Champions with brisket, ribs, and dessert placing in the top 5 of 99 schools. With Coach Alvarado’s endless sacrifice towards the team, many late nights and early morning practices [rain or shine], this day will go down in Ingleside’s history next to the 2008 Powerlifting State Championship as State Champions." We encourage you that if you witness an employee who goes above and beyond and demonstrates actions or qualities that are worthy of celebrating, to tell their story and help us recognize them! The nomination form is located on the district website at www.inglesideisd.org ,under the 'About Us' section of the Menu. Congratulations, Mr. Alvarado! We're so happy you're a part of the Family at IISD.
