🐾📚 Our Little Mavericks Are WILD About Learning! 🐾💙❤️

What a wonderful way to kick off our first Iduma Little Mavericks session of the school year! 🤠✨

Our littlest Mavericks, ages 3–4 and not yet in school, joined Mrs. Adkins in the library for a morning filled with:
📖 A fun story
🎨 Creative crafts
🎲 Exciting games
💙 Lots of smiles, laughter, and learning!

We loved welcoming our future Mavericks into the Iduma family and watching them explore, create, and have fun together! 🌟

We can't wait to see our Little Mavericks again for more stories, adventures, and learning! 🐾📚

Keeping students lifted takes all of us and TOGETHER we achieve more!
Here at Killeen ISD, parent liaisons and parents put teamwork into action during our Parents as Partners workshop, where a simple balloon activity delivered a powerful message: student success is supported by many hands. Our Parents as Partners workshops are kicking off this fall, and we’d love for YOU to be part of it!

Come connect, learn, share and discover resources to help your family and your student thrive. #weAREKISD 💛

🐾❤️💙 WILD ABOUT LEARNING & KINDNESS!💙❤️🐾

What a WILD and wonderful second week it has been at Iduma ! 🦁📚✨ Our Mavericks are already showing us that learning isn’t the only thing we’re wild about—we’re wild about kindness, respect, friendship, and making Iduma a place where EVERYONE belongs!❤️💙🤍

This week, our students proudly took the "No Place for Hate pledge", standing together to make our school a place where hate has NO home. 🤝🫶

From the classroom to the hallways, our Mavericks are learning that our words matter, our choices matter, and the way we treat others matters. 🌟

We are so proud of the way our students are starting the year with BIG hearts and a commitment to making a positive difference! 🐾

🌎 At Iduma, we are WILD about learning, WILD about kindness, and WILD about making a difference!

Let’s keep roaring, Mavericks! 🐾🦁❤️💙
