Our Bulldogs LOVE TO READ

Benavides Heights Elementary School students and families warmed up with a good book on Thursday, January 21.
Families and staff gathered to celebrate literacy with an evening of reading. Students, teachers, staff and community, joined together to celebrate literacy at its finest. 
Families listened to a special read-aloud from special guest readers  from our neighboring High School C.C. Winn and people from our community.  Guest readers were: Matthew Uriegas (C.C. Winn Asst. Principal); Marilu Uriegas (C.C. Winn College Advisor); Joe Cruz (Eagle Pass Historian/Downtown Manager); Walter Galindo, Juana Rodriguez, and Irene Moreno (SWTJC Creative Writing Club); John Byrne (EPHS Asst. Principal); Luis Sifuentes (City Councilman); Juan De Luna (EPHS English Teacher); Olivia Garcia (EPHS Dean of Instruction) Pablo Garcia (C.C. Winn Student Council Rep.) Hilda De Leon (UMC Physician Assistant); Rudy Bowles (EP School Board Member); Eric Villasenor (C.C. Winn Head Football Coach); and Jay Mendoza (C. C. Winn Asst. Principal).
 Everyone enjoyed an exciting night of celebrating reading.
