Floresville Independent School District

At the November FISD Board of Trustees meeting, FMS Visual Arts educators, Megan Aguilar and Erin Ashenbeck were featured in the “Innovate to Educate” portion of the meeting. Both teachers were recipients of Future Ready Teacher Grants that placed Chromebooks in their classrooms. They showed how creating a blended learning environment that includes choice boards, learning menus, google classroom, ThingLink, along with other apps and websites promotes student engagement and learning. They shared how students used these innovative digital tools in combination with traditional tools to create an art piece for Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead.

At their November meeting, the FISD Board of Trustees recognized Dylan Pennell and Cole Lebrun with the Community of Character Award. Cole and Dylan work at Floresville South Elementary in Kindergarten classrooms as part of the FHS Work Based Learning Program. During homecoming week, Dylan and Cole wanted share some Tiger spirit and Homecoming excitement with their kinder friends. With the help of their mothers and grandmothers, they made a mum for every single kindergartner at FSE! Thank you to Dylan, Cole and their families for making a special memory for these little Tigers and Jaguars!
