Families & Students Fill Southside Stadium for Lighting of the S

by

Happy parents, family members, and students filled Southside Stadium on Wednesday, September 28,making the Lighting of the S one of Southside ISD’s signature events. From Menchaca Early Childhood Center’s pre-K3 to the Southside High School Class of 2023, dozens of students represented every campus and so many clubs during a parade leading up to the big event. Students in the parade cheered and jumped, some yelling, “We are Cardinals,” as they walked passed the stands. Family members, for their part cheered back yelling, “Go Cardinals!” The event idea came from Superintendent Rolando Ramirez who sees a direct correlation between student pride, student behavior, and academic performance. While so many of the groups in the parade showed enormous spirit, the group of judges from Amerigroup, selected the Mighty Cardinal Band as the 2022 spirit winners. “We had such a great time seeing all of the students,” said Amerigroup’s Erika Salazar. “Southside ISD is such a warm place and we’re proud to be a part of the District’s success.”

Popped Our Way to a “B”!

We did it! The state assessment ratings are in and Freedom Elementary went from an F rated campus to a B! We couldn’t be more proud of the hard work from our students and staff.  We pushed our students and challenged them everyday, and they did not give up.  Even on the skirt tails of covid they rose above all the challenges and made tremendous growth and gains. To celebrate, all students received a popcorn treat on Friday, August 26th. As an extra bonus to our 4th and 5th graders who took the STAAR test last year, they got to enjoy their popcorn with fun toppings of their choice, such as M&M’s, gummy bears, and sprinkles.  We could not be more proud of our Freedom Students! Keep up the great work!

Collective Resumes

What better way to kick off the new school year than getting to know one another. At Freedom, our teams came together to celebrate their accomplishments and achievements. They gathered and shared their years of experience, certifications, degrees, skills and special strengths. All together, our teachers and staff bring 587 years of experience to our campus! It was a perfect activity to start the new year, but it was also a great way to remind our teachers what they bring to our students each and every day.
