What a successful day at Donna ISD's College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) Fair! Our middle school students had an incredible opportunity to explore their futures by learning about university options, high school CTE programs, scholarship opportunities, and even meeting with military recruiters. Events like these are usually geared toward high schoolers, but today, our young learners were inspired and encouraged to dream big and plan for their future! Thank you to everyone who made this event a huge success, and we look forward to welcoming families and the public tonight from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. at the Marlette Event Center.

✨ University Road Trip Vibes! ✨
Last Friday, our 8th grade GEAR UP students had the opportunity to tour The University of Texas at San Antonio and Texas A&M University San Antonio!
From campus tradition to study spots, tutoring, tech rentals, and rec centers—students got a sneak peek of what college life is all about. 🎓💻🏀
These visits help our Warriors picture themselves as future college students… and the future looks bright! 🌟

🎓 This past Friday, our students had the opportunity to visit UTSA and Texas A&M–San Antonio! They toured both campuses, learned about dorm life and financial aid, explored the Recreation Center, and enjoyed lunch at the Roadrunner Dining Hall.

The student ambassadors did a fantastic job sharing their personal experiences, campus life, and graduation programs — truly inspiring our students about the road ahead.

A big thank you to UTRGV and GEAR UP for making this experience possible. 🙌 College readiness is key, and opportunities like this help prepare our students for a bright future! 💙
