It's a beautiful day at Alto ISD! 🌈
The youngest and oldest students at Alto Elementary are teaming up! Our Pre-K and fourth-grade students met their buddies today, spent time getting to know one another, and even created their own special handshakes! 🤝
And this is just the beginning! Tomorrow, our fourth graders will escort their Pre-K buddies to the pep rally. Throughout the year, they’ll enjoy buddy lunches, buddy reading times, and lots of other fun activities together. 📚🍎🎉
We love watching our oldest students become leaders and role models while our youngest students build special friendships. We can’t wait to watch these buddy relationships grow throughout the year!
Parents & Students:
We are aware of the “Cat in the Hat” social media trend circulating online and want to remind our students not to participate in or share this trend.
To be clear, Alto ISD has NOT been the subject of a threat. This post is simply a precautionary reminder as we become aware of trends that involve school safety or threats. What may seem like a joke or harmless social media trend can quickly become a serious matter with real consequences.
Parents, please take a moment to talk with your students about making responsible choices online. Think before you post, share, or participate. Thank you for helping us keep our students, staff, and school community safe. 🐝
