Laredo Independent School District proclaimed September as Attendance Awareness Month during a ceremony on Monday morning. The proclamation was conducted in the foyer of the LISD Performing Arts Complex Auditorium.
Students, campus principals, assistant principals, attendance officers, and administrators filled the foyer in support of daily student attendance.
LISD Board of Trustees Vice President Rick Garza and Superintendent Dr. Sylvia G. Rios took turns reading the proclamation.
United States Military Academy at West Point representative Lieutenant Hanson visited Garcia Early College, Cigarroa, Martin, and Nixon High School juniors and seniors. Students listened to an informative presentation by Lt. Hanson on career possibilities after high school.
Today, active Army member Mark Zapata made a special stop in Laredo before his upcoming deployment. His visit was not just any visit; it was a surprise for his beloved sister, Kiliana Zapata. As Mark walked through the door, Kiliana's eyes welled up with tears of joy at the unexpected reunion with her brother.
Moments like these remind us of the sacrifices our military members make and the deep connections that bind families together. Mark's surprise visit was a beautiful reminder of the love and support that surround our brave servicemen and women.
On behalf of M.B. Lamar Middle School students and staff, Dr. Eduardo Lopez wishes Mark a safe and successful deployment. The Mighty Lions also send their warmest regards to Kiliana and their family as they cherish this precious time together before he heads off on his next mission.
