Student “Charges” Ahead with Solar Energy

by

(San Antonio, TX) – Southside High School is one of the first in the city, if not the state, to have a Solar Canopy and Table. The inconspicuous table is located in the courtyard near the gym, and it is more than it seems. “This is awesome,” said Nadine Solis, a sophomore who applied for a grant last year as a Freshman. Solis won the more than $8,000 grant that allowed the high school to purchase this solar-powered charging station. It literally uses solar power to charge phones, tablets, and computers. This is a result of a grant from the San Antonio Scholar Eco Grant through the city, and it was inspired by teacher Ms. Alexis Flores. “I encouraged several students to write grants, and we have six others that also won; each of them is different and exciting.” As the other grants are awarded, the district will post on the website; for now, everyone is basking in the solar-powered glow of success and getting charged for a fun Spring semester.
A special thanks goes out to the SISD Maintenance Department, Johnny Flores, and his team for putting the table and canopy together.

Cardinals CARE – Antibullying Campaign

by

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.
