✨🎄 Holiday Magic, Wildcat Style! 🎄✨ The KIK KATS absolutely sleighed the stage at the afternoon Community Choir Christmas Cantata at Palestine High School! Their precision, showmanship, and festive flair brought Rockette-level excellence to Wildcat Nation — synchronized kicks, radiant smiles, and pure holiday sparkle from start to finish. A huge Wildcat thank you and congratulations to Palestine ISD Fine Arts Director, Mrs. Herrington, for her outstanding leadership and vision in directing a production that beautifully showcased the incredible talent of our students and our community — all within our outstanding PHS facilities. These dancers didn’t just perform… they elevated the entire program, adding energy, elegance, and Christmas cheer that had the crowd in awe. Bravo to our incredible KIK KATS for representing Palestine ISD with such class, talent, and heart! Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat — and during the holidays, a Rockette, too! ❤️🐾✨ #WildcatNation #KIKKATS #PalestineISD #FineArts #ChristmasCantata #HolidayMagic #WildcatPride #OnceAWildcatAlwaysAWildcat

Big learning happening at Wildcat Acres! 🐔 PHS CTE Agriculture students have partnered with Sanderson Farms to gain hands-on experience in the full process of poultry production. From hatching chicks on campus to learning the skills it takes to grow, care for, and take them to the consumer—our students are experiencing agriculture from start to finish. Clara McKenzie, Mila Chapman, and Krislee Briggs recently shared their journey and knowledge at the FFA Greenhand Competition and proudly presented their work to families and district staff. Led by instructor Mr. Snider, these students are building real-world skills and a strong future in agriculture. #WildcatNation #PHSCTE #WildcatAcres #FFA #AgEducation #PalestineISD #GrowingLeaders

❄️ Washington ECC is celebrating the 12 Days of Christmas! This week kicked off with Don’t Be a Grinch Day and a festive Snowman Day, filling our halls with joy, imagination, and early learning magic. At Washington ECC, seasonal celebrations are more than dress-up days — they are purposeful learning experiences. Through holidays, traditions, and seasonal themes, our students build early literacy, social skills, language development, and connections that help them understand the world around them. Our highly trained, degreed early childhood educators create enriching, developmentally appropriate activities that make learning joyful, memorable, and meaningful. Every themed day is intentionally designed to support growth, spark curiosity, and strengthen school readiness. We love watching our littlest Wildcats learn, laugh, and grow this holiday season! ❤️🐾 #WildcatNation #PalestineISD #WashingtonECC #EarlyLearning #12DaysofChristmas #PurposefulPlay #FutureWildcats

Holiday Magic Across the Wildcat Nation

The most wonderful time of the year is here — and so are the incredible Holiday Fine Arts Programs happening across Palestine ISD. From theater to choir, band to dance, our students are shining bright all season long.

At Palestine ISD, Fine Arts isn’t just an event… it’s a commitment. Across every campus, our programs are valued, supported, and intentionally curated to give students meaningful opportunities to grow in their talents. These holiday performances are a showcase of that dedication — and a celebration of the creativity, discipline, and hard work our students bring to the stage.

Join us as we come together for choir concerts, band performances, theatre productions, and community showcases that make this season special for the entire district.

Thanksgiving themed Literacy and Math fun in Ms. Love’s class at Washington ECC! They had fun building Thanksgiving plates with food while practicing their numbers and counting, they made turkey tail patterns, and practiced letters and sounds while writing letters on pumpkin pies with shaving cream fun! What a fun Friday!

💚🎄 Grinch Day was a SUCCESS in Ms. Carrizales’ Pre-K class! 🎄💚 Our littlest Wildcats had a magical day filled with hands-on learning and holiday joy! Students made Grinch ornaments and hats, “Grinched” their names, helped the Grinch’s heart grow three sizes, and wrapped up the fun with a festive Grinch snack. 💚✨ At Washington Early Childhood Center, days like this are more than just adorable — they’re intentional. Our degreed, highly trained early-childhood educators design experiences that build foundational skills in language, fine motor development, creativity, social-emotional learning, and early literacy. We believe the earliest years matter most — and we’re proud to provide a nurturing, engaging environment where every young learner can grow, explore, and thrive. 🌟 #WashingtonECC #EarlyChildhoodEducation #WildcatNation #PreKMagic #FoundationalSkills #LearningThroughPlay

🦃🍁 Northside Primary Turkey Trot ‘25! 🍁🦃 Before Thanksgiving break, our Wildcats kept the beloved Northside tradition alive with the annual Turkey Trot! 🐾 A huge thank you to all the families who came out to cheer, clap, and celebrate with us — your presence makes this event even more special. ❤️ And a big shoutout to the Palestine High School students who volunteered their time to help make the day run smoothly. From guiding runners to handing out high-fives, their leadership and Wildcat spirit were on full display! We love seeing our community and campuses come together to create lifelong memories for our youngest Wildcats. #wildcatnation #palestine_isd #NorthsidePrimary #TurkeyTrot #WildcatTraditions #CommunityStrong
