General PTO Meeting: September 30th
After a very informative Title I meeting with Principal Kelley, where we also learned about October Dyslexia Awareness Month and how our school supports students with dyslexia, we transitioned into a high-level PTO meeting to review the presentation below.
Thank you to everyone who came out and joined the conversation! We look forward to seeing you at our next PTO meeting in November.

Watch D.O.G.S. Kick-Off Recap 🐾
What a night! Our ILTexas Watch D.O.G.S. Kick-Off was full of energy, laughter, and community spirit. Dads, father figures, and their Eagles came together to enjoy classic yard games, share pizza, and prepare for another year of patrolling the halls.
Throughout the evening, dads completed their training, picked up their official Watch D.O.G.S. t-shirts, and most importantly—built connections with one another and with our school community. The excitement was contagious, and it’s clear our Eagles can’t wait to see the Watch D.O.G.S. in action this year.
Get ready, ILTexas—our halls are about to be safer, stronger, and full of D.O.G.S. pride! 🦅🐾

A Morning of Smiles: Grandparents Day Through Grandma Linda’s Eyes
Grandma Linda’s Grandparents Day was all about being present with her four grands at lunch and the Book Fair. Read how small moments became big memories and why she hopes more grandparents will join next year.
Grandma Linda came to Grandparents Day with a simple goal, to see her grandbabies smile. She met her crew, Moriah in Pre K, Micah in 1st, and Felix and Edgar in 3rd, for an unhurried lunch. They traded stories, compared cafeteria favorites, and she made time to focus on each child. Those small in between moments, the giggles, side hugs, and the sweet calls of “Grandma, watch this,” became the heart of her day.
After lunch they made a beeline to the Book Fair. Eyes lit up, hands sifted through shelves, and tiny stacks quickly formed. Linda loved watching each child choose with care. The books they picked hinted at who they are and who they are becoming, superheroes, science, and wonderfully silly stories. She left grateful for a school community that makes space for families to simply be together.
What Linda hopes her grandchildren remember is steady and simple. That she showed up, that kindness matters, and that school is a place where we cheer one another on. She shared appreciation for the staff and volunteers who created a welcoming and family friendly experience, the kind you cannot order online, the gift of time together.
Thinking about coming next year? Linda would encourage every grandparent to say yes. Bring a little spending money, bring your appetite, and bring your whole heart. You do not have to do everything. Sit, listen, laugh, and let the kids lead. The smiles are worth it, and the memories will follow you home.
Building Community, One Slice at a Time: PTO Meeting Recap
We kicked off the year with our Summer General PTO Meeting—an evening of connection, conversation, and community. Families met the PTO board, previewed upcoming events, and learned how we support students and staff all year long. Catch up with photos and the full slide deck inside!
We kicked off the school year with our Summer General PTO Meeting, and it was such a great way to connect with new and returning ILTexas College Station K-8 families.
Over pizza and conversation, families had the chance to meet our Executive Board, hear about the PTO’s mission, and learn how we partner with the school to support students, staff, and campus needs throughout the year.
Here’s what we covered:
✨ What the PTO does—from funding free spirit shirts and field trip grants to hosting school events and staff appreciation
💡 Ways to get involved—whether it’s helping once a semester or joining a committee
📅 A preview of upcoming events that bring our community together
We know not every parent can volunteer regularly, and that’s okay. Just being connected and informed makes a big impact. Whether you want to dive in or simply stay in the loop, there’s a place for you in the ILTexas PTO.
Thank you to everyone who came out—we’re excited for what’s ahead and grateful to start the year strong, together.

24-25 End of Year Bash
It all begins with a splash.
🎉 End of the Year Bash: A Celebration to Remember! 🎉
To close out an amazing school year, the ILTexas College Station K-8 PTO threw the ultimate End of the Year Bash—and it did not disappoint! Students, staff, and families came together to celebrate all the hard work, friendships, and memories made throughout the year.
From giant inflatables and water games to flavored snow and yard games, the campus was filled with laughter and pure joy. It was a day to be a kid, to soak up the sunshine, and to celebrate everything our Eagle community accomplished this year.
A huge thank you goes out to our volunteers, staff partners, and PTO supporters who helped bring this event to life. Whether you donated supplies, gave your time, or simply showed up to cheer the students on, your support made this day extra special.
Here’s to a year full of impact—and to even more fun ahead. We can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish together next year!
