March is National Nutrition Month

Snacks can provide so many nutrients kids need to grow! Having a variety of foods from each food group is a great way to meet energy needs between meals.

What: Prepare simple grab and go snacks (veggie sticks & hummus, whole grain crackers & cheese, yogurt with fruit & granola…the possibilities are endless!)

Where: Eat in an area without distractions for maximum enjoyment!

How many: Kids usually only need 2 or 3 snack each day, each at least 1 – 2 hours before meals.

Who: Let kids help prepare healthy snacks. Provides quality, fun family time. Kids love food that they helped to prepare!

Our Kids Kreations Fundraiser packets went home before Spring Break. Check your child's backpack if you have not seen this. (If your child did not receive one, it is because there was not art work at that time.

Students get a free sticker page with their artwork. Online orders are preferred. These are WONDERFUL keepsakes and a great way to support our Art teacher with the amazing work she does with our students.

If you have any questions, please contact Tricia Matthews, Giesinger Art Teacher

Conroe ISD Title I Parent and Family Engagement Policy Draft 2024-2025

A summer tradition for 19 years!

Believe it or not, summer will be here before we know it! Now is the time to get your student ready to attend Camp Singalier, CISD's very own summer music camp, close by at The Woodlands College Park High School. This camp has been approved by Conroe ISD, so you know it is the very best in a fun and educational camp for your child! Please view pictures of the showchoir and Camp Singalier at our website: http://cavalierchoir.com/

Sponsored by the acclaimed Rhythm-n-Blue of the College Park Choir Department, Camp Singalier is designed for grades K – 8. Using a variety of exciting activities, your child will learn to sing, dance, and perform songs. As parents, you are invited to see the results of the week's accomplishments with a spectacular performance of entertainment featuring all the camp participants in the College Park High School Auditorium, complete with professional stage lighting and sound!

Rhythm-n-Blue members will lead and assist in all the awesome activities of Camp Singalier. The Rhythm-n-Blue show choir is a very select group of 11th and 12th grade students who are outstanding performers in singing and dancing. Rhythm-n-Blue performs at many civic and school events, and their repertoire spans the best of Broadway and popular hits as showcased in their concerts featured exclusively at College Park to their award-winning performances at state choral competitions such as the Madrigal Festival in Dallas and San Antonio.

Please support this Conroe ISD camp, which is our ONLY fundraiser to purchase costumes and music for Rhythm-n-Blue. By attending our camp, you help us fund this valuable program as we continue to promote music and the arts, not only in Conroe ISD schools, but also in our outreach to the community.

Thanks again for attending our camp. Look forward to FUN!!!!!
