Join us as we kick off the holiday season with LISD's Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony tonight at the LISD Performing Arts Complex located at 2400 San Bernardo Avenue at 5:30 p.m.!
The tree lighting will take place just after dusk and will include live music by the Martin, Nixon, and Cigarroa High Schools bands, Christmas Carols performed by LISD choir groups, dance performances by MHS Tigerettes, NHS Golden Spurs, and CHS Silver Roses, including cheer teams, and a final performance by the CHS mariachi.
The 41-foot-tall tree will be decorated with 28 personally handcrafted elementary and secondary school ornaments, hundreds of yule lights, and a bright star lighting the way to the North Pole. Area families, business, community organizations, clubs and school groups are welcome to join the district in its holiday celebration.


🌟 Maker Space Monday at Ryan Elementary! 🌟
Our talented Bobcats kicked off Computer Science Education Week with a creative and hands-on activity in the library! 🎄✨ Students designed and built their own 3D Christmas trees using construction paper, glue, and a whole lot of imagination.
This fun Maker Space project helped spark innovation and creativity while tying in the spirit of the season. Way to go, Bobcats! 🐾🎉
