Let’s give a round of applause to our Pre-K rockstars!
These students earned gold coins by demonstrating kindness, participating actively, and going above and beyond in the classroom. Today, they had the special opportunity to use those coins to select a book from our Book Vending Machine.
We love celebrating good choices and helping our students build a lifelong love for reading.
Keep up the great work, little learners — we’re so proud of you!
Come out for National Night Out!
District Meet was a success! This is the 3rd year in a row McDade XC has qualified for Regionals. This year goes to 10th grader Marcos Suaste! We also had 11th grader Alexa Carrillo come in 1st as our District 2A Champ in JV girls division. This has truly been a team effort! Along finishing strong in a tough category was Senior Alberto Maldonado and 10th grader Timothy Hunt. We also have had an amazing Team Manager Senior Summer Jacobs. Lots of hot afternoon workouts, early morning meets and prayers have paid off! Congrats to Bulldog XC building a legacy of family, integrity and teamwork. Let’s Cheer Marcos on to Regionals! Let’s Go Bulldogs!! 🐾
