Some of our M. B. Lamar Lions spent an incredible, hands-on day outdoors at Bartlett Park working directly with the Rio Grande International Study Center (RGISC)!

During the trip, our students stepped into the shoes of real environmental scientists as they tested local water quality, collected samples, and studied the health of our surrounding aquatic ecosystem.

Through hands-on experiences like this, our students gain a deeper understanding of the vital mission behind RGISC: to preserve and protect the Rio Grande-Rio Bravo watershed and environment through awareness, advocacy, research, education, stewardship, and bi-national collaboration.

A huge thank you to the dedicated team at the Rio Grande International Study Center for guiding our students, sparking their curiosity, and inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards! We are so proud of our Lions for leading the way in caring for our community's natural resources. 💚🦁

A big thank you to our amazing staff and volunteers who helped make our school flu clinic a success! Your commitment to the health and well being of our lions makes a difference! 🦁💚💉

Red Ribbon Week – Making Healthy Choices! Yesterday, our 8th-grade students had the opportunity to participate in a health presentation with U.S. Customs and Border Protection focused on the importance of staying drug-free, making positive decisions, and understanding the dangers of drug use. As we recognize Red Ribbon Week, our goal is to educate, encourage, and empower our students to make healthy choices that will positively impact their futures. Prevention starts with awareness, and together, we can help our students build a brighter, healthier future! A special thank you to U.S. Customs for taking the time to educate and inspire our students! 💚🦁From: Coach Perez & Coach Gonzalez🦁💚
