We are excited to kick off another year of UIL Academics! Elementary students will begin signing up for events in the library with Mrs. Spears this week, and official UIL practices will begin August 31st. Team announcements will be made in the coming weeks as our coaches get practices underway and begin working with students.

Our Elementary UIL teams will compete December 3rd & 4th, and we can't wait to see our Hornets represent Era!

Below is an UIL Newsletter to serve as a resource for families throughout the season. Inside you'll find which events are available at each grade level, detailed descriptions of each contest, grading guidelines, and lots of additional resources and links to help students learn more about their events.

UIL is such a great opportunity for our students to discover new interests, challenge themselves, build confidence, experience academic competition, and have a lot of fun along the way!

Take some time to look through the newsletter with your student and see what sparks their interest. We can't wait to get started!

🎩NHS Hat Days Are Back!🎩

Students can wear a hat to school every Wednesday for just $1! Before wearing a hat, students must pay in Mrs. Bowles’ room or my room. Once you pay, you will receive a stamp on their hand.

Want to make it easier? Pay $30 for the entire year before September and you’re covered for all 36 Hat Days! That’s a discount—and one less thing to remember each week!

For those new to Era ISD, Hat Days are the major fundraiser for National Honor Society. The money raised helps NHS purchase flags to place on veterans’ graves at Era Cemetery before Veterans Day and wreaths through the Wreaths Across America program. 🇺🇸

Era Cemetery has approximately 90 veterans, and NHS is proud to continue its partnership with our local DARS to help remember and honor the veterans in our community.

Thank you for supporting NHS and helping us honor those who have served!
