Spring Branch ISD Featured News

This month, the Stratford High School track was filled with fifth graders from the Spring Branch Independent School District (SBISD), eager to participate in the district's annual Fiifth Grade Track Meet hosted by Health Fitness Program.

The meet was more than just a showcase of athleticism; it was a demonstration of the Collective Greatness of SBISD's student leaders and the district's Health Fitness instructors. The event began with a "Parade of Champions," where students from every elementary school marched around the track proudly representing their schools with banners, T-shirts, and smiles. As the evening progressed, fifth graders from 23 elementary schools competed in the track and field events, including the 4x100-meter relay, 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash, shot put, discus, and long jump.

The young athletes showcased an impressive level of talent. However, the positive outcomes from the evening were not based solely on scores or points. Instead, the development of Core Characteristics, including teamwork, good sportsmanship, inclusion, and striving for excellence, were prioritized. These qualities are integral to the district's vision of cultivating T-2-4 readiness in Every Child.

The event also provided a preview of track and field possibilities for the students' futures.

The meet was a success, as it resulted in students gaining an enhanced understanding of opportunities in district athletic programs. The hundreds students who participated were inspired by the encouragement of their educators, trainers, and the crowd of loved ones who cheered them on from the stands.

The future of SBISD is bright, with talented students eager to excel in sports and in life.
