Dear Team AISD,
I want to make you aware of an opportunity for the Austin community to support our public schools.
Save Texas Schools will be holding a statewide rally at the capitol from 10 a.m.–noon March 25, to support fair and equitable funding for public schools, continued reform to our testing system and community-based supports for struggling schools.
For the first time in program history, the McCallum High School bowling team will travel to the state tournament hoping to strike gold.
After winning eight of 10 matches in the regional tournament earlier this month, the Knights will battle bowling's best March 25–26 in Fort Worth.
“I watched a group of young men grow together during this (regional) tournament,” Coach Randy Cannon said in an interview with McCallum's student newspaper, The Shield. “After each match I saw this team get stronger and more determined with every shot.”
The annual 2016–17 Vision+Voice poetry contest, a collaboration between Austin ISD and Austin Community College, has announced the winners of this year's competition.
Winning poems from students at every grade level will be paired with art by an ACC art student to create posters, and all the winning poems will be collected into a 2016–17 anthology.
An award reception to see the poetry and artwork pairs will be 6:30 p.m. April 28 at the ACC Eastview Campus, 3401 Webberville Road.
