San Marcos CISD has a tremendous amount of momentum building throughout all of our campuses. We are excited to introduce our partnership with Vype Media and celebrate the wonderful students, staff and programs that are major contributors to this momentum. The idea for this magazine was prompted by an initiative from Board of Trustee Miguel Arredondo. The initiative was “to find creative ways to improve our average daily attendance through universal participation in extra curricular activities”. The statistics speak for themselves, those students that are involved in these programs are present in class and high achievers academically. The goal for this platform is to expose our elementary and middle school students and their parents to

all of our programs that can enrich their educational journey. We will publish a magazine each semester highlighting programs in Athletics, Fine Arts, CTE, and campus clubs. As well as, promoting our facilities like the Student Activity Center, Performing Arts Center, and our state-of-the-art STEAM Center. A special thank you to our leadership, Dr. Michael Cardona and the Board of Trustees, for always supporting all things SMCISD. I hope as a parent you enjoy the magazine and take time to talk with your little rattlers about finding the program that interest them. It takes a village to make the village prosper.
