🎉 City View Jr/Sr High just wrapped up our STAAR Boot Camp, "Mission STAAR: Blast Off to Success", and we couldn’t be prouder of the hard work and growth we've seen in our students! 💪📚 Since February, our 6th–8th graders have been practicing essential skills and building their confidence every single Wednesday. Thanks to engaging activities and consistent effort, our students are more prepared and empowered heading into STAAR testing! A HUGE thank you to Nacol’s Jewelry for sponsoring weekly prizes—your generosity brought excitement and motivation to our campus. This afternoon, we wrapped things up with our big prize giveaways! 🎁✨ We also can’t say enough about Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Cruz—these two have gone above and beyond every week to create meaningful and fun learning experiences for our middle schoolers. Your dedication and creativity made all the difference! And to all of our amazing teachers and support staff- thank you for being game to jump in and make boot camp a success. Your energy, support, and teamwork made this experience possible! 👏❤️ Go Mustangs! 🐴💙 #itsabetterViewasaMustang

Shoutout to Mrs. Reed for keeping the April Fools' spirit alive with some very important 'state-mandated' drills today! 🌊😆 First up: Flood Awareness Training—because apparently, the Texas Legislature thinks we need to be extra prepared! Students practiced removing their shoes, rolling up their pants, crouching on their chairs, propping their feet on desks, perfecting their swimming strokes, and—if all else failed—yelling APRIL FOOLS! Then came the Google Earth Flyover Setup—at precisely 1:57 pm, students took to the parking lot to wave, jump, stare dramatically at the sky, and even spell out 'CV' for their big debut on Google Earth. Because if you're not featured from space, did it even happen? Thanks for the laughs, Mrs. Reed! Teacher prank level: Expert. 😂👏 #itsabetterViewasaMustang

Today, Mrs. Vergauwen's freshmen Honors class had the opportunity to apply real-world truth in regard to their novel study, The Book Thief by visiting the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum. They were silent as they heard real-life testimony from Holocaust survivors. Some were moved to tears. At the end of the day, they all took a piece of what they learned home with them. "When children have the opportunity to apply what they read in the classroom to historical fact, a different kind of learning occurs. Today, these young adults had the opportunity to experience, through historical documentation, what Humanity truly means. We teach our children to "be kind no matter the background of someone who is different from you." Unless we are confronted with the realities of what "separateness" means to those who choose to separate us, there is little understanding. Today, the students asked - out loud - in the middle of the exhibit - WHY? For that reason alone, it was a successful day." These students will be world changers! 🌎 #itsabetterViewasaMustang
