What’s happening
around the district
In December, the L.D. Bell Gymnastics team held their
annual Toys for Tots Invitational. Athletes, coaches, and
spectators were asked to bring new, unwrapped toys for
local underprivileged children. Over 100 toys were collected
and given to West Hurst Elementary.

Over the weekend of December 4-5, the Trinity High School
debate team competed against 1,400 students from 130
schools at the University of Texas at Austin. Each Trinity
Trojan debater won at least one of the four rounds he or
she participated in.

Lakewood is a proud participant in the Fuel UpTo Play 60
movement. Students have joined the Student Advisory
Team along with their PE Teachers and will be selecting
healthy eating plays and activity plays for the entire school
to participate in.

Each year, local rotary clubs team up to provide “gazetteer”
dictionaries to all HEB ISD third graders. The Rotarians
spent time in each classroom to share their mission of
reaching out to help serve the community.

Hannah Sharp of Bedford Heights Elementary and Neel
Patel of Hurst Jr. High won first and second place in the
HEB ISD-Area Star-Telegram Spelling Bee. Hannah will
compete against students from other local schools.
