Our middle school students put their hearts into action 💌 As part of Mrs. Fallad’s Valentine Card Drive initiative, they created thoughtful Valentine’s cards to spread love and encouragement to children in hospitals and seniors in assisted living facilities. What a beautiful way to share kindness!

Mrs. Hernandez’s 2nd graders had a wonderful time celebrating Rosa Parks’ birthday today! Throughout the week, students have been learning about her life and the important role she played in history. To honor her contributions, the class created thoughtful birthday cards and enjoyed cupcakes together — a sweet way to remember a true hero who helped change the world. 💛✨ We are so proud of our students for learning about courage, kindness, and standing up for what is right!

🌤️🐿️ Punxsutawney Phil has spoken! Since he saw his shadow, our Pre-K friends made their own winter magic today ❄️ From learning about Groundhog Day to making and playing with homemade snow, smiles, giggles, and chilly fun filled the classroom. Winter learning is always better when it’s hands-on! ⛄💙

Ms. Sparkman’s art class has spoken—and the verdict is in 🎉🎨 Bubble blowing art is a TOTAL win! Big smiles, creative minds, and lots of bubbly fun made for an unforgettable art experience. 🫧✨

Birdwell Dual Language Immersion School Library has decided to hold a Read-A-Thon this year!
Read-A-Thons actually get your reader excited about reading and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more.

Our Read-A-Thon starts Monday February 16, 2026.

About one week before our Read-A-Thon starts we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress.

We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/323832303439/1?utm=email and following the simple instructions.

We've chosen Read-A-Thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read and helps in the development of stronger reading skills.
