Lackland ISD Celebrates the Month of the Military Child

 

Lackland ISD exists to serve the military child.  April is the Month of the Military Child.  It is a time to honor the sacrifices made by military families worldwide, emphasizing the experiences of the dependent children of military members serving at home and overseas. April 15 is "Purple up! For Military Kids", a day recognized in military-connected communities to wear purple to show support and thank military children for their strength and sacrifices.  Purple indicates that all branches of the military are supported.  Air Force (blue), Army (green), Navy (blue), Marine (red), and Cost Guard (blue) all combine into a single color, purple. 

Lackland ISD began its recognition of the 'Month of the Military Child' on April 1, 2021, prompting students to wear their pajamas as a reminder to follow their dreams. Each Thursday of the month will encourage activities for student participation.  Please watch for school messages to share how we will continue the celebration and recognition of military children. 

The Lackland Education Foundation is up and running and we are excited about the possibilities that our Foundation will offer for our teachers and our students. On June 12, 2021, the Lackland ISD Foundation will host its first fundraiser at Top Golf  ( Topgolf: Golf, Party Venue, Sports Bar & Restaurant ). Please join us for an afternoon of fun and games in a safe and healthy environment. The event will be held from 1-4 pm. In addition to all the food and games that Top Golf has to offer, we will also conduct a Silent Auction for some wonderful prizes.  Please come out and support our military-connected students!

The Foundation is available 24/7 to accept donations via our webpage. You can go to Foundation - Lackland Independent School District (lacklandisd.net) to make donation using Pay Pal.

    BinaxNOW Rapid COVID-19 Student Testing- Lackland ISD

 

 

Lackland School District has been provided rapid test kits from the State of Texas. We have test kits available for use on campus and will extend testing opportunities to enrolled students beginning Monday, March 29, 2021.  COVID-19 testing kits can be discontinued at any time.

 

Use of Tests by Students

 

1. Any student receiving a test must have a signed consent form from their parent/guardian.

2. Any parent of a student wanting their child to receive a test should make an appointment.

3. Results will be reported to the student's parent, Lackland ISD nurse, San Antonio Metro Health, and TEA as mandated by the state.

4. The results from the rapid tests can be used to return to school if all criteria are met such as no fever for 24 hours without medication, AND other symptoms have improved. This will be looked at on a case by case basis.

5. The results from the rapid tests CANNOT be used to shorten a 14 day quarantine for exposure since you cannot test out of quarantine.

6. The results of a rapid test CANNOT be used to shorten the required 10 day isolation after a positive test result.

7. If concerned after travel or other activities, tests can be done for reassurance if appointments are available.

Questions:  Which would mess up your hair more...a stream of solar wind traveling at 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometers) per hour or a wind on Earth blowing at 13 miles (21 kilometers) per hour?

Answer:  The wind on Earth would mess up your hair more!!!  The solar wind moves extremely fast, but it's made up of so very few particles, it wouldn't have enough mass to move your hair. 

 

When traveling at its average speed, the solar wind will travel 24 million miles (38.4 million kilometers) in ONE day. This means it takes almost FOUR days to go the 93 million miles (149.5 million kilometers) on Earth.

Believe it or not, that is what happened during the Alaskan Klondike Gold Rush in 1897-1898, when hungry miners wanted something good to eat. 

 

Today, potato chips are the favorite snack food of Americans, who gobble down over 3 MILLION pounds (15 million kilograms) in a SINGLE day! 

 

The potato chip has been around since 1853, when Saratoga Springs chef George Crum came up with the idea while trying to please some very finicky diners.  The diners thought the potato slices would be too thick, so Chef Crum sliced them as thin as he could.  The diners loved them, and the potato chip was invented.
