Sterling City ISD

NHS is hosting our spirit week for the last week of school before Christmas Break. See the attachment for JH and HS dress up days!

On Wednesday this past week, we took our seniors to SeaWorld for a Career Tour! Students got a behind the scenes look at the many careers that keep the park running and had the chance to see so many incredible animals up close including belugas, dolphins, penguins, sea lions, turtles, sharks, and more. They learned a lot, asked great questions, and walked away with an experience they won’t forget. Proud of our seniors for representing us so well!

We will have a send off for our State FFA girls today at 10 AM in front of the school. Come cheer them on!

Join us for our annual Christmas program. This cheerful event promises to bring laughter and joy to everyone! So bring your family and friends, and come celebrate the season with us.

🎄We want to thank the wonderful parent volunteers and teachers who spent many hours over the break making the halls extra festive for the students. Once again, you've made it special for all who walk through our doors.

Food Distribution: We will have a food distribution tomorrow, December 2nd, from 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM. Please spread the word to anyone who may need it!

Here is our updated Week at a Glance!

We will also be having a send-off for our FFA LDE State Qualifiers on Thursday, December 4th at 10:00 AM in front of the school.

Come out, show your support, and help us cheer these girls on as they head to STATE! Let’s send them off with pride!

Please have your children sit with you during the games and remind them: no running in the foyer, no playing with balls inside, and please don’t play around in the bathrooms. When parents stay close, kids stay safe — and everyone can enjoy the game. Of course, we encourage the jr high and high school students to sit in the student section and cheer on our student athletes.

🦃 Week at a Glance 🦃
We hope everyone is getting ready for a restful and enjoyable Thanksgiving break! Attached is our Week at a Glance for the week of Thanksgiving break and the week after we return.

🦃 Who else is still smiling from our Thanksgiving Turkey Trot yesterday? Huge congratulations to all our grade level winners! 🦃 Also, let's give a big round of applause to the winners of our turkey call contest. Those performances had everyone laughing and cheering. Share your photos or your favorite moment from yesterday. We'd love to see them!

Junior high and high school students can purchase coffee on Tuesday the 18th after 11:00. If you’d like a coffee, be sure to bring your money!

Together We Soar! 🦅

🇺🇸 Veterans Day Appreciation 🇺🇸 Yesterday, our FCS students had the privilege of serving 64 veterans and their family members in honor of Veterans Day. We are proud of our students for their hard work and grateful for the opportunity to show appreciation to those who have bravely served our country. ❤️💙 A special thank you to Mrs. McClure, Carmen Barber and the FCS department for organizing such a meaningful event.

Dear Parents and Guardians, As we begin basketball season, I want to share an important update regarding new Texas legislation (SB 2929) that goes into effect for the 2025–2026 school year. This law strengthens expectations for spectator behavior at all UIL athletic events to help ensure games remain safe, positive, and respectful for everyone involved. Under this new law, game officials may now remove spectators immediately for disruptive or inappropriate behavior — no warning is required. Additionally, if a spectator is asked to leave, the decision is final under Texas law. Schools are permitted only three such incidents before losing the ability to host home officials. We ask for your cooperation in helping us model good sportsmanship and protect the integrity of our programs. Please: Cheer for our players, not against the other team. Treat officials, coaches, and visiting teams with respect. Keep comments and interactions positive at all times. Your support and positive example mean a great deal to our athletes. Together, we can ensure our games are enjoyable experiences that reflect the values of our school and community. Thank you for your continued partnership and for helping us make this basketball season one to be proud of.

Get your basketball spirit gear! Store closes Sunday November 16th at 11:59pm https://gogandy.com/sterling-city-bball2025

UPDATE: The canned food drive will now continue collections through Monday, November 17!

This morning, during our announcements, we recognized these students for receiving the Citizenship Award. On the back of each certificate, the teachers wrote about why their student deserved the award. Many kind words were shared about these role model students. We're so proud of each and every one of them.

Send-Off Today! Join us in front of the school at 1:10 PM to cheer on our Lady Eagles! Immediately following the send-off, parents and community members are encouraged to line Robert Lee Highway and honk our Lady Eagles out of town! Let’s show them all the love and support as they head out! 🏐💜💛
