❤️🖤 We spot WARRIORS! 🖤💙

💫 A handful of our students and alumni were in attendance at Estacado High School’s Mini Matador community event this morning!

They were able to start mentorships with EHS students in the sport of their preference. Each participant received a cool t-shirt that they will wear for free admission to events! 😎

We love to see our Rise family involved in neighborly fun! 🤩

Registration is still open in select sports.

🫶🏾Many of our former students are on EHS’ sports and music rosters!! Make plans to support them as their seasons get underway! ❤️🖤💙🩶
