Wow!! Luling ISD families donated 979 lbs of non-perishable items to the Luling Food Bank! Our families are AMAZING!
Thank you, Mrs. Castro, for organizing the Hunger and Homelessness Drive this week!

Having fun in ACE after learning time! We have spots open in Junior High and we’d love for students to join the ACE program. We do cooking, robotics, arts and crafts, and all kinds of fun stuff in ACE. It’s way more fun than playing on devices and watching TV in the afternoons, plus you have help with your homework and getting better in reading and math! Contact Satriani Carrillo at Gerdes Junior High if you are interested.

Shanklin Elementary is having the annual Veteran's Day Program on November 11th at 10am in the High School Gym. Due to occupancy restrictions, we are only allowed to have the honored Veterans and the families of the students that will be participating in the program attend in-person. If your child is participating a note was sent home on Friday. All other interested families can watch the program online - a link will be posted to the website. Shanklin students will watch the program live, in their classrooms.
HUGE thank you to the Luling Lions Club for a VERY generous donation to the district. These funds will be used to help students in need. Thank you Lions Club and Perla Castro for advocating for our students!
