3. Eat Healthy - On test day bring a snack(s) that is not messy, dusty or powdery or that quires utensils- goldfish, cheez-its, animal crackers, etc work great.

BISD Senior Walks - May 16th - 8:00am
In the spirit of “One Boerne”, the Boerne and Champion Class of 2024 will host their senior walks simultaneously, on Thursday, May 16 at 8am. We look forward to our Greyhound and Charger graduates participating in this wonderful tradition for the first time- together.
Seniors who wish to participate should sign up by May 10th using this link.
Parents who are planning to attend the event can complete a pre-check using this link, and avoid the check-in line on the day of the event.
On the day of the walk the seniors will check in at the front office starting at 7:45am dressed in their cap and gown. At 8am, elementary students at each campus will line the hallways and cheer on our graduating seniors as they walk through our schools one last time.
Congratulations to the Class of 2024!
RAVE about a ROADRUNNER
Our teachers have the opportunity to nominate students for doing fantastic things on our campus. These nominations can be for academic or character-related greatness. We believe in promoting positive character traits, student success, and of course, most importantly being a good human! A few of the many traits that we promote are kindness, empathy, perseverance, leadership, service, responsibility, compassion, honesty, and treating your neighbor the way you would want to be treated. It is great to celebrate our students each morning. We are blessed that Van Raub has so many amazing kiddos to rave about!
Here are this week's Raveworthy Roadrunners:
