We were THRILLED to be visited by this week by Javen Henderson, Somerville ISD Class of 2022.
He recently completed Recruit Training, officially giving him the title of United States Marine!!🦅 This week, he visited with several of our students to share more about his experience joining the USMC.
We are so proud of you and forever thankful for your service to our nation! OORAH!!
Many of our students decked out some lockers, displaying some of their goals for the new year! ✅

Ms. Cochran's high school art classes fine-tuned their figure drawing skills earlier today. After working on sketches inside, her students took their talents to the courtyard.
It was a great way to continue learning while enjoying the outdoors! 🍂🍃

🎉 Welcome Back, Yeguas! 🎉
Attention, high school students: we are excited to welcome everyone back for the second semester! This is a fresh start and a great opportunity to finish the year strong.
As we return, please remember a few important reminders:
👕 Dress Code will be enforced — no pajamas or blankets on campus.
📵 Cell phones and all communication devices are not permitted on campus at any time, in accordance with the cellphone ban.
📍 All High School students will report to an all-school assembly in the Yegua Center at 7:30 AM.
Let’s come back focused, prepared, and ready to make this semester a success. We’re looking forward to a great second semester together!

Our staff has spent the week discussing new goals and collaborating on ways to continue improving our educational experience.
Our students deserve the absolute best! 💫 We are beyond excited to welcome them back to campus tomorrow.

This week, we provided a special holiday lunch and distributed personal gifts to our staff members. On Friday, our team at the high school came together for a special potluck meal to celebrate the end of our first semester 😎
Thank you for all that you do - we appreciate you all SO MUCH!! 🧡🖤

Several club officers from the high school program visited the elementary school to read Christmas stories to some of our younger Yeguas 📖🎄
After getting through their books, they joined the class with several holiday-themed arts and craft projects 🧡🖤 #YeguasHelpingYeguas
As a reward, she received a special Santa "SLAY" basket full of candy! 🍬🍭
Big thanks to all our teachers for helping to make our hallways a little more festive the past few weeks ❤️💚
Students from our Principles of Health Science class helped some of our 4th graders stay safe from germs 🦠❌
Our kids participating applied harmless Glo Germ dye to their hands during a demonstration on Monday. Under a black light, students could see what happened to their "germs" before and after proper handwashing.
On top of learning an excellent lesson, we LOVE seeing Yeguas helping Yeguas!! 🥹🧡🖤


Our judges made the rounds today, evaluating the contenders at our high school 🧐 The winning teacher (announced on Thursday) will receive a giant cup of candy to share with their students 🍬🍭
