🎉Help us celebrate our Ricebird & Ladybird Coaches! Today is officially Texas High School Coaches Day across the state of Texas. The state legislature of Texas has made November 3rd Texas High School Coaches Day in appreciation for what coaches do for kids and communities all across the state.
Here in El Campo, we have a group of outstanding coaches who are dedicated to serving the students of El Campo ISD in a variety of ways. The job of a coach extends well beyond normal business hours and beyond the wins and losses of the games. Today we thank our coaches for the difference they make in the lives of students, and the manner in which they represent our district and community throughout the year!
Thank you, coaches!

Keith Murphy, a local El Campo resident and school supporter, believes that fellow El Camponians should support students in their academic efforts and encourage them to pursue higher education. Because of this goal, he worked with El Campo High School to award 20- $100 scholarships to students who have performed at the top of their class and students who have shown the most growth from their freshman year of high school to their sophomore year of high school.
Keith, a graduate of Baytown's Sterling High School attended college at Texas A&M University majoring in Engineering. Through the years he worked in the oil and gas industry and started his own company at one point of his career. Moving to El Campo to be close to his wife's family, he decided he wanted to encourage students in his local community. Aware of the hard work it takes to be successful in college, he encouraged the students at ECHS to take advantage of the opportunities afforded to them during school and encouraged them to take advanced level mathematics. Keith believes that students deserve to be recognized for their academic achievements just as much if not more than for their athletic achievements. Small tokens of recognition let the students know that their efforts are seen and encourages them to keep striving for more.
Scholarship recipients are Cash Escamilla, William Romero-Salazar, Iladia Gibbs, Charlise Pruett-Scutt, Zoe Schulze, Dylan Johnson, Cadence Dornak, Back row: Lance Brooks, Landon Brooks, Michael Roddy, Scholarship Donor: Keith Murphy, Bryan Cisneros, Ja'Kwuan Hudlin, Brooke Bacak, Jillian Croix, Adeline Hundl, Khaki Erwin, and Arianna Williams.

📣 Come support your Ladybirds!!❤️
Students in Pre-K read the story "Pumpkin Jack" and learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin. Throughout the story, the students noticed the changes the pumpkin went through as it rotted and how seedlings emerged from it in the spring.
Classes teamed up to create their own Pumpkin Jack Science and STEM activity. They took a large plastic container, added soil and water (moisture), and then placed a pumpkin in the container and sealed the cover with tape. They are going to let Mother Nature do her thing and are excited to watch the pumpkins decompose in front of their eyes. Once the pumpkin disintegrates they will open the container and cover the remains and then hopefully watch as a seedling emerges!
📣Go Birds Go! Come out TODAY and cheer on the swim team at the EC Aquatic Center! The meet starts at 5:30.
HISPRINT Ministries, a sports and community outreach out of Houston, recently donated multiple pairs of hard-to-find/larger-sized athletic cleats/trainers to El Campo Middle School athletes. Thank you to HISPRINT Ministries for your generosity and for supporting ECMS athletes!

Thursdays are for the 'Birds! Mrs. Wenglar's and Mrs. Hlavaty's students at ECHS spent Thursday mornings in October completing Halloween STEM challenges with the Ricebirds.
