We are thrilled to share that U.S. Congressman Henry Cuellar and the Rio Grande International Study Center have awarded Laredo ISD a $3,120,000 Forestry Grant, bringing more green to our schools! This grant supports the Adelante con Arboles Project and will allow the planting of trees at eight elementary and middle school campuses!
Together, LISD we are inspiring change; creating eco-friendly campuses and fostering environmental awareness. This project is about more than just trees—it's a commitment to environmental education, eco-friendly campuses, and a better future for our students, teachers, and families.
The Adelante con Arboles Project will open new doors for outdoor learning, connecting students with nature and fostering a culture of sustainability.
