Mrs. Carolyn Doonan and Mr. Time Zaskoda of the Burleson County Go-Texan Committee attended the FFA Christmas Luncheon on Dec 18, 2023, to talk to the seniors about the area Go-Texan Scholarships and Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Scholarship deadlines. Eight seniors received information packets and had an opportunity to ask questions. A big thank you to them for coming out and supporting our students.

It was a magical morning in Pre-K today! For 8 years one of Santa's helpers (also known as Mrs. Webb's dad) has given blankets to every child in Pre-K! Today was blanket delivery day and the students were so excited to open their new cozy blankets! We are so grateful for this sweet tradition that has blessed so many over the years! Merry Christmas!

Hello Yeguas! State and federal law enforcement agencies have made us aware of a statewide bomb threat hoax directed toward various school districts across Texas. Both state and federal law enforcement agencies do NOT believe this is a credible threat and may have originated in Russia. No threats have been made toward Somerville ISD, but we will let you know if there are any additional developments.
