1,345 students. One BIG celebration of reading!

Our annual Read Across America – Texas Style event brought stories to life for K–5 students, connecting them to books filled with cowboys, astronauts, adventure, history, and imagination. 🤠🚀

From the wide-open Texas plains to outer space, students explored new worlds through reading — and we loved every moment of it!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this inspiring day possible. Here’s to growing readers across the world!

Crabs have compound eyes and they’re on eyestalks! This allows them to see almost 360 degrees around them. Crabs have so many other unique adaptations too!

Join us on December 17th for “Crabs: Structures and Functions” where we’ll learn all about crab anatomy and some of the adaptions Texas crab species have. If we’re lucky, we may have a few guests join us!

To register, visit https://connect2texas.net/ and click on the “Events” tab. Select “Texas Parks and Wildlife Department” as the content provider in the filter. All programs are FREE and TEKS aligned. Registration closes one week before the scheduled program.
