Reading Buddies Begin Another Year of Supporting SBISD Students

SBISD's Reading Buddies are back for another year, bringing community volunteers and second-grade students together to strengthen literacy skills and build meaningful relationships.

Since 2019, Reading Buddies has connected volunteers with students for 30 minutes of reading each week, providing encouragement, consistent support and opportunities to grow as readers.

The program's impact was highlighted in the 2026 Education Scorecard, a research project involving Harvard University, Stanford University and Dartmouth College, which reported:

• 88% of participating students showed gains in oral reading fluency.

• More than 60% of the 340 volunteers counted had served for at least two years.

“We're excited to see so many community members in our schools helping students build their reading skills and showing them that their community cares about their success,” said Christopher Marroquin, Director of Community Engagement.

Thank you to our Reading Buddies for showing up each week, building connections and supporting SBISD's literacy priority and T-2-4 vision for Every Child!

Keeping Every Child safe starts with awareness, education and open conversations.

SBISD Police encourages families to talk with their children about firearm safety, including the importance of never handling a firearm and knowing what to do if they encounter one:

• Never touch it. 

• Leave the area immediately. 

• Tell a trusted adult.

Take a few minutes to watch this important safety message and continue the conversation at home.

Memorial Girls Flag Football Heads to NFL Stage

The Memorial High School Girls Flag Football Team is headed to Reliant Stadium for a special opportunity to compete on an NFL stage!

On Thursday, Aug. 20, the Mustangs will take on Pasadena South Houston during halftime of the Houston Texans preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The showcase comes during an exciting period of growth for girls flag football. Opportunities for female athletes are expanding at the youth, high school and collegiate levels, and the sport will make its Olympic debut at the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles.

For our Mustangs, taking the field at the home of the Houston Texans is an opportunity to represent Memorial and SBISD while joining a generation of student-athletes helping shape the future of the sport.

Good luck to our Mustangs as they take the field on Thursday!
