Southside ISD Education Foundation Honors Top Campus Students

by

An initiative of both the Superintendent and the Southside ISD Education Foundation (SEF) is an incentive to honor outgoing students from each campus. This initiative has become a tradition for students, and they will each receive a computer as recognition for this academic achievement. The computers are purchased through fundraising efforts by SEF. Academic growth has been evident across all spectrums at SISD since this initiative was started.

During the May board meeting, Southside ISD recognized these students and gave them their new computers. Congratulations to each of these students for their continued hard work and dedication!

Overnight Field Trip for Some Lucky 5th Graders

by

On February 9 some of our 5th grade students joined other Southside students for a Science Field Trip to Baumberger Ranch Nature Preserve in Johnson City, Texas.  The program is called the Natural Conservation Experience.  The purpose of the program is to give students a hands on experience to learn about preserving nature, understand ecosystems, learn about the geographic timeline, and how sedimentary rocks are formed.  In the Ecology classroom students learned about different soil types and their ability to retain water and effectiveness.  Other things students experienced were how to measure the health of a pond ecosystem, astronomy, the Edwards Aquifer and limestone, natural springs, fossil collecting, and skulls.  They even played a game called “Oh dear, oh dear”, a habitat game.  For more pictures, visit our Heritage Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/SISDHeritageElem
