Heritage Takes Part in National Unity Day
Heritage Patriot Day 9/11 Ceremony
Heritage students led a remembrance ceremony commemorating the events of 9/11 along with thanking 1st responders for their continued service. The event included the Pledge to the American flag (and then students continued with the Texas Pledge and our own Heritage Pledge), a moment of silence, and singing a song titled, “We Remember”. Afterward, students were able to meet the 1st responders up close and see their vehicles. We want to also say a special thank you to the Southside ISD officers that work to keep our campus safe. Again, thank you to all for joining us this morning.
Cardinals CARE – Antibullying Campaign
Southside ISD is committed to all safety and security protocols and solutions. Cardinals CARE (C- Compassionate, A- Accepting, R – Respectful, and Empowered) is an initiative inspired by parents, community members, students, security experts, and staff input. Southside ISD recently held a Safety and Security committee meeting where ideas and critiques were shared. Although we have many programs, protocols, and procedures in place, one of the district’s numerous efforts includes communicating ways to prevent harmful activities to all staff and students. The Cardinals CARE Campaign includes a robust marketing initiative of posters, videos, banners, and incentives to encourage our community to “See Something, Say Something.” The entire program falls under the Stay Alert reporting and detection system the district already has. For more on the direct numbers and website for Stay Alert, Click here.
Cardinals Care also includes a dress code policy that encourages unity and good behavior. The Cardinal VIP program is also part of the family of incentives that celebrates our outstanding and best-behaved cardinals. In the coming days, be on the lookout for messages from our cardinals on how you can help us all stay alert and safe.
