Happy Veterans Day from the LISD TECH Center!
In collaboration with several programs at the LISD TECH Center and departments across the LISD, Nursing Prep students organized a gift bag drive to honor local veterans. Through this effort, 200 veterans living in area care facilities, receiving services through the Department on Aging, or supported by Visiting Angels received a special gift bag as a token of gratitude for their service.
Over the past two days, Nursing Prep students personally visited local veterans to thank them and celebrate their contributions to our country.

Onsted El students are learning about ecosystems @ Stubnitz. Including a fun game called Migration headache where they learn about different factors that can affect migratory bird habitat. If they lost their habitat they had to wait in "birdie heaven" until conditions improved.
