Ms. Love’s Washington ECC class put their 5 senses to work tasting different treats—salty, sweet, sour, and bitter! 👅🍭🍋🍿 The lemon action shots stole the show… but believe it or not, a few students actually asked for more lemon slices! 😂😂 #LearningIsFun #WildcatNation

Ms. Carrizales Pre-K class use their Science skills making slime today as they learned about their 5 senses.

What is a TUNNEL CAT? TUNNEL CATS are boys and girls in Grades PK-6 who have the opportunity to run through the Wildcat Victory Tunnel before each regular-season home football game. Each TUNNEL CAT will receive a T-SHIRT and FREE ADMISSION to all regular-season home football games (parents/guardians must buy a ticket). How do I join TUNNEL CATS? ALL REGISTRATIONS ARE ONLINE. Use the QR Code above (easiest!) OR go to the PYSO website (palestineyouthsportsorganization.com) and click on the provided link to the Lone Star Online Store. YOU ARE REGISTERED FOR TUNNEL CATS WHEN YOU ORDER A SHIRT! Credit and debit cards may be used to pay the $20.00 registration fee (plus tax). You MUST pick up at LONE STAR ATHLETIC APPAREL & DESIGN, INC. located at 1317 South Loop 256, Palestine (Hours 9:00 - 4:00). What are the TUNNEL CAT Expectations? a.) Students must wear their TUNNEL CAT 2025 SHIRT to gain FREE ADMISSION into the game (use Main Gate HOME Entrance) & run through the Wildcat Victory Tunnel. A parent/guardian must be in attendance at the game. The TUNNEL CAT Staff will not be responsible for any child during the game. b.) Students will run through the Wildcat Victory Tunnel BEFORE the football game while the band is playing. Students will meet on the Track at 7:15 p.m. and are encouraged to make signs. After they run through the Tunnel, students will meet with their parent/guardian in the home stands and return to their seats to enjoy the rest of the game! When are the Home Football Games? ● Fridays at 7:30 P.M. (except for one Thurs. Game - Aug. 28): Aug. 28, Sept. 12, Sept. 26, Oct. 10, Oct. 31 ● Tickets: Ticket Sales are ONLINE ONLY.

📢 Legal Update for the 2025–26 School Year Starting this school year, House Bill 1481 prohibits students from using cell phones and personal communication devices during the school day while on school property. If brought to campus, personal communication devices must be turned off or silenced and remain out of sight at all times between arrival and dismissal. Thank you for reviewing and discussing this new policy with your students before the school year begins. #WildcatNation #PalestineISD #BackToSchool

🇺🇸✨ Honoring Juneteenth ✨🇺🇸 Today, Palestine ISD joins our community and nation in commemorating Juneteenth—a celebration of freedom, resilience, and hope. On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, the last enslaved people in Texas learned they were free. This historic day reminds us of the ongoing journey toward equality and justice for all. We honor the past, reflect on the progress made, and continue to educate and empower future generations to build a brighter, more inclusive future. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #PalestineISD #WildcatNation #CelebrateFreedom #UnityThroughEducation
