The Wildcat Weekly

📣 Homecoming excitement is coming our way! Join us Wednesday, September 23, for the Splendora ISD Homecoming Parade at 6:30 PM, followed by the Bonfire Lighting at dusk behind the Coleman Campus! 🔥

We can't wait to celebrate Homecoming with our Wildcat community!

Citywide Impact is bringing the community together this Christmas with "A CityWide Christmas," a free celebration on Friday, December 25, from 2–7 pm at the Bull Sallas Park Show Barn, 21675 McCleskey Road in New Caney.

The event is for anyone who needs a Christmas meal, companionship, or a welcoming place to celebrate the holiday. Individuals, couples, and families are all invited to attend. Guests can enjoy Christmas dinner, Santa, family photos, kids' activities, games, crafts, hot cocoa, treats, Christmas movies, care packages, and gifts for children ages 0–18.

Registration opens September 10 and closes December 10. Walk-ins are welcome, but registration is encouraged to help organizers prepare enough food and supplies. Children should be preregistered to guarantee a Christmas gift; a limited number of gifts will be available for walk-ins while supplies last.

Community members can also help make the celebration possible by donating or volunteering.

Ready to attend, volunteer, or give? Visit https://www.citywideimpact.org/event-details/christmas to register or learn how you can support A CityWide Christmas. The goal is simple: to make sure everyone has a place to experience community, connection, and the joy of Christmas.

To commemorate 25 years of excellence in education, H-E-B will award more than $1 million in cash prizes to Texas educators and their schools through the 2027 H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards program. Nominations are now open, and anyone can nominate their favorite teacher, counselor, principal, school district, school board, or early childhood facility and help them win their share of more than $1 million. Nominations are open until September 30, 2026, at HEBLovesTeachers.com/nominate. 

From August 12, 2026, through October 9, 2026, the Gifted & Talented Department is accepting referrals to screen for students who may exhibit gifted characteristics and benefit from current programming options in grades 1 and 3-12. Kindergarten and Grade 2nd are universally screened per state and local policy.

 

This program is designed for students who exhibit any singular or combination of the following abilities or potential to develop capabilities at an extraordinary cognitive level: intellectual, leadership, creativity, artistic, and/or academic achievement. 

If you have any questions about the GT identification and assessment process and could not attend this meeting, please contact the Gifted and Talented Coordinator, Eva Baker, by email at ebaker@splendoraisd.org.

As Wildcats come together to celebrate Homecoming in a couple of weeks, the Splendora ISD Education Foundation is challenging our alumni to compete class against class in support of today’s students and educators.

Make a donation in honor of your graduating class—or match your gift to your graduation year: $19.80 for the Class of 1980, $19.95 for the Class of 1995, or $20.10 for the Class of 2010.

Every gift supports opportunities such as innovative educator grants, student programs, classroom experiences, and scholarships. Don’t forget to include your graduation year so your class gets credit!
