This week in Alto Athletics...
Thank you to the generous Alto community and to our friends from Corrigan-Camden who donated last Friday night to support Deysy and her family. We appreciate you all for showing such incredible kindness and support! 🖤💛
What a special start to the day! More than 200 people gathered around the flagpole at Cam'ron Matthews Field this morning for See You at the Pole, an annual global day of student-led prayer. 🙏We are so proud of these students for their leadership and willingness to come together around something that is important to them.
Alto FFA members Jaiden, Jeremiah, Sarah, Jay, Malachi, Ryder and Antonio leveled up their leadership skills at the 2026 FFA Pineywoods District Leadership Day event hosted by Central Heights Ag Department. They explored AFNR advocacy, communication strategies, and inclusive practices which were facilitated by the District and Area Officers.
We’re proud of these students for investing in their leadership and growing the skills they’ll carry with them for years to come!

Good morning, Jackets--it's game day! ☀️
Biology students got hands-on in the lab today, becoming enzymes in a simulated chemical reaction to explore how denatured enzymes, coenzymes, and competitive inhibitors impact enzyme effectiveness. 🧪🔬💛🖤
💛💛 Friday Night, We’re Cheering for Deysy! 💛💛
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and this Friday night, our Yellowjacket family will come together to support one of our own — 11th grader Deysy Castillo. Deysy has been in the hospital in Dallas since early this summer, and we could not be prouder of the strength, courage, and fight she continues to show.
During Friday night’s game, a football helmet will be passed through the stands. If you feel led to give, we invite you to drop a donation in the helmet to support Deysy and her family. These funds can help with whatever her family needs — travel, daily expenses, or simply helping ease some of the financial burden that comes with this journey.
Most importantly, Friday night is about reminding Deysy that she is not fighting alone. She has an entire Yellowjacket family standing behind her, praying for her, cheering for her, and believing in her. #ALTOgether
Raising teens today means helping them navigate both substance use and screen-time risks. That's why the 4 M's of Prevention is such a powerful guide for parents (acceda al Prevention Playbook, ahora disponible en español):
✅ Manage screen time and access to substances
✅ Focus on Meaningful activities that build skills, confidence, and purpose
✅ Model healthy boundaries with technology and substances
✅ Monitor for early warning signs of problems
Research shows that when parents stay consistently involved and set clear expectations, teens are less likely to use alcohol, marijuana, or other substances.
Ready to put the 4 M's into action? Visit angelinacoalition.org/resources to access the Prevention Playbook for Parents, available in English and Spanish, with practical tips and tools to help families support healthy decision-making and reduce risk.
The Drug-Free Council program is funded by a grant from TxDOT to reduce the number of alcohol-related crashes in Texas. #DriveLikeATexan #PreventionPlaybook #ParentingTeens #TeenSafety #SubstancePrevention #Prevencion #PadresYFamilias #SpanishResources

Dr. Crawford shares a look at how Alto ISD uses data and accountability to measure progress, identify areas for growth, and ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed. #4theA
For many of our students, September 11 is something they have only learned about in history books. But 25 years ago, it was a day that changed our nation and the lives of countless families.
Today, we pause to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, honor the first responders and everyday heroes who stepped forward, and teach the next generation why we remember.
May we never forget. 🇺🇸
