Our kindergarten students enjoyed an unforgettable field trip! They got to visit Build-A-Bear and create their very own special bear to keep as a sweet memory. Afterwards, they enjoyed delicious pizza, lots of playtime, and fun moments with their classmates!

Edcouch-Elsa High School Barber class students enjoy a day out on the Lower Laguna Madre Bay fishing onboard one of the Murphy Charter Bay Fishing boats. As part of the EEISD Outdoor Youth Adventure Project (OYA) managed in conjunction with the ACE Afterschool Program, twenty-five students spent the morning out on the bay trying their luck at catching some fish. At the end of the trip, six fish ended up in the stringer.

5th Grade field trip to Alpaquita Ranch 😊

Parents, we need your help!!!!! Let's get pizza for your classroom!!🍕🍕🍕
