Read Across America Day promotes reading, particularly for children and young adults. Many schools, libraries, and community centers across the United States participate in the day by bringing people together to take part in reading books. Various reading activities and events are held across the country on this day.
In 1997 an organization known as the National Education Association (NEA), pushed for a special day to celebrate reading throughout the United States. This idea proved to be a popular one so it was not long before the first Read Across America Day was held on March 2, 1998. This nationwide observance coincides with the birthday of Dr Seuss (Geisel), an American writer best known writing children’s books. Some of his books include Green Eggs and Ham, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, and The Cat in the Hat.
The NEA represents about 3.2 million elementary and secondary teachers, higher education faculty, education support professionals, school administrators, retired educators and students preparing to become teachers. It provides resources and activities for educators, parents, and children.

Texas Independence Day celebrates the adoption of the state’s independence declaration. It is an annual legal holiday in Texas, in the United States, on March 2.
Texas Independence Day commemorates the adoption of the Texas Declaration of Independence on March 2, 1836. This event marked Texas’ independence from Mexico. Sixty delegates from all over Texas signed the declaration. Its language in many ways parallels the 1776 Declaration of Independence of the United States, which is observed on Independence Day, also known as “the fourth of July”.
The Republic of Texas was annexed to the US by joint resolution of the US Congress nine years after the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed. The US Congress then admitted Texas as a constituent state of the Union on December 29, 1845. Texas Independence Day is an official holiday in Texas. Sam Houston Day is also observed on March 2, marking the birthday of the man who led the Texans to victory over Mexican troops at the battle of San Jacinto.

School Social Work Week is marked every first full week of March to celebrate school social workers across the nation and appreciate their work in helping students achieve academic success. Did you know social work began in U.S. schools over 110 years ago by visiting teachers? School social workers are professionals within the social work field that work with teachers, parents, and school administrators. They help students deal with mental health and behavioral challenges and provide academic and classroom support. They also help in developing education policies, work with crisis interventions, and identify and report child neglect and abuse. School social workers mainly work in primary and secondary schools. To support the work of social workers, many organizations offer scholarships to students on their performance, skills and behavior.

Dear Parents and Guardians,
We want to share an important reminder to help keep all students safe on our campuses.
Recently, we’ve noticed an increase in students using skateboards on school property outside of designated areas. While we understand skateboarding is a popular and enjoyable activity, it can also lead to accidents—especially when students are alone and not under adult supervision. Falls, collisions, and other injuries can occur quickly, even for experienced riders.
To ensure student safety, skateboarding is not permitted on school grounds. Security forces will be monitoring campus facilities to support this policy and help maintain a safe environment for everyone.
We kindly ask for your help by reminding your child of this rule and encouraging safe choices before and after school.
Thank you for your support in keeping our students safe.
Respectfully,
Dr. Burnie Roper
Superintendent of Schools

Olivia Huntley (flute) performed at the ATSSB Region 11 Junior High band concert this past Saturday. She performed as the 3rd chair in symphonic band and did an amazing job! She represented the Stacey band program well. |
As part of our Teamwork & Collaboration Unit I had the students get into teams and clean all our outdoor lunch tables and pick up any trash around the lunch area as well as the campus.
I explained to them the importance of working as a team to accomplish a goal - they did amazing. We all worked together and now the students have clean outside lunch tables ready to go for lunch 🙂
I also explained that teamwork goes way beyond not only healthcare....it is important in any field of work.

Mrs. Villanueva graduated from Stacey in 1999! She started here at Lackland ISD in 2nd grade and has worked as a nurse for 22 years.
Did you ever meet Mrs. Stacey?
Yes, I recall meeting Ms. Stacey several times during my time at Lackland/Stacey. She was always incredibly kind, and it was evident how much she cared for her school. Everyone held her in high regard. I believe one of the times I saw her in person was the day of the groundbreaking ceremony for the new middle and high school.
What do you do now?
I am a registered nurse currently working at a skin and health spa as an Aesthetic Nurse. Before this, I worked in hospitals and surgery centers with my primary focus on pediatrics. This June will mark my 22nd year as a nurse!
What's one word to describe your personality?
Caring.
What are some activities you did when at Lackland schools?
I was in STUCO, World Affairs, played volleyball, managed the girls’ basketball team, was part of the science club, and played in the band in middle school. I’m sure there’s more… I just can’t remember…it feels so long ago!
Looking back, what is the most important lesson you learned during your time at the school?
The most valuable lesson I learned was to cherish that time in my life, as it played a pivotal role in shaping the person I am today. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to have attended Lackland/Stacey from the second grade until graduation. I received an exceptional education, from the most dedicated teachers to the most compassionate counselors and the most caring school nurse. Each individual at Lackland/Stacey was remarkable. It was an extraordinary experience, and I hope that every child could have had the same opportunity.
What was your favorite class?
Oh, that’s tough because I genuinely enjoyed so many of them! I particularly cherished my English classes because they allowed me to express myself and be more creative. However, I also had a blast in my science classes because the experiments we conducted were so fun!
What was a specific tradition, event, or school activity you'll never forget, and what made it so memorable?
Spirit Week was always my favorite time! I loved dressing up on theme and seeing which class (Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors, or Seniors) had the most school spirit. It really brought students together, whether you were an OG Lackland kid or just moved here from some other part of the world!

Are you still in touch with anyone from your school days?
I “stay in touch” with a few people from my school days through Facebook or Instagram, but not really in person…until this past summer. My husband and I were out for lunch and one of my best friends from middle/high school happened to be at the same restaurant with her family! We hadn’t seen or spoken to each other since before my youngest son was born (he will be 18 this summer). We hugged, I think I cried happy tears, then we hung out a couple of times while she was here in town. And as a bonus…we also met up with two other girlfriends from middle/high school. I’ve also ran into a few of my teachers since graduating, with recently being Mrs. Frawley at my local HEB.
What are some places you have lived because of the Military?
I was born in the Philippines on Clark AFB. When I was about 2 years old, we lived in Spokane, WA. We moved back to the Clark AFB when I was 4 years old. And when I was about 7 years old, we were stationed at Lackland AFB. We lived there until I was a freshman, which we then moved off base, but was fortunate enough to be able to still attend school on the base. We didn’t get stationed anywhere else once we were at Lackland because my little brother needed Wilford Hall since he had special medical needs.
Thank you for your time, Mrs. Villanueva!!

In Mrs. Delgado’s third grade class, students have been busy mathematicians exploring three-dimensional shapes! During math stations, students practiced classifying, identifying, and sorting solid figures such as cubes, rectangular prisms, cones, cylinders, and spheres. |
Highlights of our week that brought joy, creativity, and lots of giggles for my students was their theatre performance and learning measurement conversions while making slime! |
Empathy was the subject to consider with our counselors in the library this week. Are we empathetic? Such a valuable trait.
Next week, we will be celebrating Read Across America with dress up days, Bottle Buddies, an author visit and a visit from an engineer with a Mars Rover project to share. So exciting!

Happy February! As we step into this month of love, kindness, and community, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and involvement in your child’s educational journey. February brings exciting opportunities for learning and connection, from engaging classroom activities to special events that celebrate growth and creativity.
The State Goal for Gifted Service reads:
"Students who participate in services designed for gifted/talented students will demonstrate skills in self-directed learning, thinking, research, and communication as evidenced by the development of innovative products and performances that reflect individuality and creativity and are advanced in relation to students of similar age, experience, or environment. High School graduates who have participated in services for gifted/talented students will have produced products and performances of professional quality as part of their program services."

Our GT students are served in a variety of ways, depending on the campus and grade level. Our ultimate goal is to make learning fun and challenging for each of our students, while helping them to grow their critical thinking skills.
Class work and projects for GT students should never be MORE work; it should be DIFFERENT work! This is the heart of differentiated instruction. Our teachers provide differentiated instruction to our GT students throughout the school day. The information below is a simple introduction to what differentiated instruction is.
