Mission, Texas- On the morning of Saturday, April 18, Mission CISD (Consolidated Independent School District) teachers, students, campus staff, and administrators will hit the streets on a first-of-its-kind community awareness event. During the Mission CISD Proud Block Walk, teams of people will be visiting neighborhoods in several areas, armed with information everyone should know about the district and why the community should take pride in their Mission CISD students and schools.
“We thought it was important to try a new approach,” said Ricardo López, superintendent. “It is my hope this helps us better connect with some of our community members on a very personal level. It is important they know the facts about us and be confident in the quality education and programs being offered to their children.”
López said after this first Mission CISD Proud Block Walk event, officials would gather feedback from the participants and use that for any possible future Mission CISD Proud outreach events.
This first Mission CISD Proud Block Walk event will end with a special celebration to be held at K. White Jr. High School at 12:00 p.m. There will be free food, fun, and student performances that will include: band, dance, mariachi, and cheerleaders. K. White Jr. High School is located at 1101 W. Griffin Parkway, Mission.
Parents of currently enrolled students will also be able to complete their online registration at the celebration event at K. White Jr. High School if they have not already completed it for their children. Anyone interested in enrolling students for the first time would also be welcome.
