The World Heritage Office visited Gilbert Elementary in the Harlandale ISD to deliver copies of the brand-new World Heritage Center Activity Book! This fantastic resource, created in collaboration with Gilbert Elementary teacher Jessica Sandoval and scholar Anua Reyes, M.A., introduces readers to the incredible stories behind our cultural heritage. Lead by charming guides, an armadillo and a monarch butterfly, the book leads students through the beautiful building, art, and landscape of the World Heritage Center. With dual-language pages in English and Spanish, the activity book is filled with dynamic illustrations and engaging activities that teach kids about basic architecture and the historic missions. Plus, at the end, they get to unleash their creativity by sharing their own stories through words or art! A huge THANK YOU to Harlandale ISD, Jessica Sandoval, and the students at Gilbert Elementary! Plan your visit to the World Heritage Center today and grab your Activity Book! Hours of Operation: -Monday: Closed - Tuesday, Wednesday, & Friday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. - Thursday: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. - Saturday & Sunday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A message from our Principal, Mrs. Wing!! 🚨Please Read🚨 Mustang Parents, It is hard to believe it, but we are entering the final month of this school year! Although the year is almost ending, there is still a lot of learning to do to prepare our students for the next school year. We cannot stress enough how important daily attendance is for your child's success. Next Friday, May 9th, we will be having our Field Day for Kinder through 5th grade. In order for your child to participate in field day, he/she must be present at school every day, Monday, May 5th through Thursday, May 8th. If your child misses school on any day next week, you must provide a written excuse (doctor note or parent note) to excuse their absence(s). Any unexcused absences will result in removal of the opportunity to participate in Field Day. We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring that your child is at school every day and that he/she does not miss out on field day. You may submit absence excuses for your child through our online Google form linked below: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqSxOHAcFN6o9VWJOFLhREycJQcLvNsM73Fql1zw-injJkjA/viewform Thank you for helping us to ensure your child's daily attendance. *********** Un mensaje de nuestra directora, ¡la Sra. Wing! 🚨Por favor lea🚨 Padres de familia de los Mustangs, ¡Es difícil de creer, pero estamos entrando en el último mes de este año escolar! Aunque el año está por terminar, todavía queda mucho por aprender para preparar a nuestros estudiantes para el próximo ciclo escolar. No podemos enfatizar lo suficiente lo importante que es la asistencia diaria para el éxito de su hijo(a). El próximo viernes 9 de mayo tendremos nuestro Día de Campo para los estudiantes de Kinder a 5º grado. Para que su hijo(a) pueda participar en el Día de Campo, debe estar presente en la escuela todos los días, desde el lunes 5 de mayo hasta el jueves 8 de mayo. Si su hijo(a) falta a la escuela cualquier día de la próxima semana, debe proporcionar una excusa por escrito (nota del doctor o nota del padre/madre) para justificar la ausencia. Cualquier ausencia sin justificar resultará en la pérdida de la oportunidad de participar en el Día de Campo. Agradecemos su cooperación para asegurar que su hijo(a) esté en la escuela todos los días y que no se pierda esta actividad. Puede enviar las excusas por ausencia de su hijo(a) a través del formulario de Google en línea que se encuentra en el siguiente enlace: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqSxOHAcFN6o9VWJOFLhREycJQcLvNsM73Fql1zw-injJkjA/viewform Gracias por ayudarnos a asegurar la asistencia diaria de su hijo(a).
