Our Harlandale ISD Student Advisory Committee recently toured the new Edmundo M. Zaragoza Multipurpose Arena as construction nears completion. Student representatives heard how this state of the art facility will support academics, fine arts, athletics and special events that elevate student experiences and showcase their talents.
Built with students at the center of every moment, the arena will host performances, competitions, celebrations and community gatherings. Thank you to our community for making this vision possible through Bond 2022.

💙 Mrs. Castillo’s NJHS Club Plastic Cap Community Project | January 20–30 💙
Mrs. Castillo’s NJHS Club at Leal Middle School is inviting our families to join us in making a difference! From January 20–30, students will be collecting plastic caps as part of a campus-wide competition.
🧢 How you can help:
Send plastic caps with your student (water bottles, soda bottles, detergent caps, etc.).
Caps will be collected through 1st period classes.
The class that collects the most caps will earn a breakfast taco party!
🌍 Why it matters:
All caps collected by Mrs. Castillo are personally delivered to a drop-off location in Coahuila, Mexico, where they are recycled to help children battling cancer. Every 5-pound bucket of caps equals one chemotherapy session for a child in need.
Thank you for supporting our students and partnering with NJHS to turn small actions into a big impact! 💙
