Shoutout to Mrs. Jakes! The Bearkat family sees your tireless work and the late nights you put in. Your "calm spirit" makes the jump from 1st to 2nd grade completely seamless. Thank you for planting seeds that will benefit our students for a lifetime!

Howdy, folks! What an incredible, action-packed Friday we had on campus today!
Our students truly stepped into different shoes today—both literally and figuratively—to celebrate our local culture and honor incredible historical legacies. Here is a look at what we were up to:
Boot-Scootin' into Rodeo Season with Go Texan Day! From tiny cowboy boots to ten-gallon hats and plaid shirts, our halls were filled with the best western gear. The rodeo spirit is alive and well!
We also beautifully wrapped up Black History Month with our student-led Living Wax Museum. Our students worked so hard researching, dressing up, and portraying trailblazing African American historical figures. Listening to them confidently share these important stories was absolutely inspiring!
We are so incredibly proud of our little historians and cowboys/cowgirls for making today so memorable. Be sure to ask your student who their favorite wax museum figure was!
Have a wonderful weekend, Bearkats! @AlvinISD

Please join us in congratulating all of our brave contestants for a job well done at this year's Spelling Bee!
Standing up in front of a crowd to spell challenging words is no small feat, and every single student handled the pressure with grace and determination. You made Brothers proud!
We also want to recognize Prashun for advancing to the District level. He represented our school remarkably well last week, showing great poise and sportsmanship. Great job Bearkats!

We’d be lost without her! Let’s give a huge round of applause to our Faculty Member of the Week, our amazing school secretary, Ms. Hippler!
They say the secretary is the heart of the school, and that couldn't be truer for Ms. Hippler. She keeps our school running smoothly, handles every curveball with grace, and does it all with a "funky but amazing" sense of fashion that brightens our hallways every single day. From her love of chickens to her love for our students, she is truly one of a kind. Thank you for everything you do!

This week, we are proud to celebrate Ms. Dominique, a staff member whose impact is felt across our entire campus. Often referred to as our "campus superintendent," she is the one who opens the school each morning and ensures everything runs smoothly through her tireless dedication and leadership. Ms. Dominique consistently goes above and beyond, from organizing community events like food trucks to leading engaging after-school groups that provide students with a safe place to grow and build positive relationships. Her genuine care for our school and her willingness to support anyone in need are what make our campus an amazing place, and she is truly deserving of this recognition.
