2nd grader Richard Sanchez is being recognized as the leader of the week for finding his voice, synergizing, and thinking win win! Richard has been using his voice to communicate effectively with staff and peers to synergize and help others! His bright smile and positive attitude are contagious to others!

1st grader Mia Ortega has shown great leadership qualities by always participating in class and being a role model for her peers. Whenever she completes an assignment, she takes out her book to read quietly. She also helps out her fellow classmates whenever she can. She is proactive as soon as she gets here by taking out our books and placing them in the hallway so students have something to read!

We want to showcase our LaCoste leaders in our trophy case on campus. We’d like to showcase students that are leaders OUTSIDE of school. Is your child proactive with the Girl Scouts or Boys Scouts? Does your child synergize with cousins in raising animals for the stock show? Maybe your child is part of a youth group that helps in picking up trash on the weekends? Capture a picture and send it to us! cara.rakowitz@mvisd.org Please indicate your child’s name and what organization they are a part of.

PreK- 5th Grade

Combined with exercise and stretching. We are working on their overall conditioning for physical activity. We completed stations that worked on their upper body strength by doing pushups at several points within the station. We also had stations that worked on their coordination, footwork, agility and the students had to stop and start running at certain points within the station. We also ran lines in the gym. As a way to thank the students for their good behavior last Friday during the Fall Festival, we had Free Play the last 15-20 minutes on their last day of the week coming to PE.

We will always work with you regarding if your child or children need to sit out in PE due to a medical reason. A note must be provided for documentation. There will be activities we do in PE that may be difficult. We are just wanting the students to try their best and with practice they will get better. If they do not try they will not get better.

LaCoste Elementary students often go above and beyond! With that in mind, we love to acknowledge when they do. Reading is an important everyday activity. It shows great examples of the Leadership Habits we know are the foundation of our success. We like to “Catch Students Reading”. Examples of that would be; students independently choosing to read as a leisure activity or students achieving a reading goal they had set for themselves, like finishing their first chapter book or reading their first book independently. Parents can also "Catch Students Reading" at home! Please click the button below to submit your child's name for the drawing.

Each week a name is randomly drawn from those submissions. Their name is displayed on a bulletin board in the library, given a prize for their accomplishment, mentioned in our morning campus announcements and posted in our Parent Newsletter.

Last week’s winner is Xaeliz Felicano!

Xaeliz was caught by Mrs. Rakowitz.

Xaeliz was caught reading at lunch and making good choices.

This week's winner is Daeliann Bavousette!

Daeliann was caught by Mrs. Hernandez.

Daeliann wanted to read her book she checked out instead of going back to her station.
