LISD Celebrates Our Board During School Board Recognition Month

 

This past Tuesday, January 26, 2021, Lackland ISD celebrated our amazing school board members acknowledging their service to our district. The pandemic has made it difficult for the board to all meet in person, but our board members continue to conduct school district business either in person or via Zoom. They continue to support the district vision and mission as we work our way through an unprecedented pandemic. The schools and the district showed our appreciation by presenting each of them with baskets that included several goodies. We appreciate our board and we honor each of them for their service to Lackland ISD.

Austin, Texas: Capital of Texas

 

The Texas capital building opened in 1888.  The Texas State Senate and House of Representatives make the laws there.  The building is made of pink granite from a quarry in Texas.  The Goddess of Liberty sits atop the capital dome.  The life-size statues of Stephen F. Austin, known as the "Father of Texas" and Sam Houston are honored there.  Austin is located in the Hill Country Region of Texas

Question:  Which would mess us 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 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 is made of  so very few particles, it would not have enough mass to move your hair.  When traveling 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) to the Earth.
