You’re invited to join the Texas ACE Zoo!
We want to provide a fun, educational, safe activity for our GISD families. This is something that will get them out of the house, but is contactless and can be done by driving or walking around the neighborhood!
Here's how it works:
1. Place a toy animal of your choice on your front porch, in your front yard, or in a window that can be seen from the road.
2. Email us at texasace@gisd.org to let us know your address and what type of animal you have on display.
We will then provide the block it’s on and educational hints to what animal it is so students can go on a drive-up scavenger hunt- while sneaking in some learning! Students can dress up as a zoo keeper or their favorite animal! Tag us in pictures on Facebook or send them to us via email! We will announce when the zoo is to close, but don’t worry- with the closure of the zoo comes a new exciting activity! Stay tuned for more details!
