Silverline Shares their SILLY

Red Nose Day is the day in the U.S. annually and every two years in the UK, when people across the land can get together and do something funny for money at home, school and work. Red Nose Day is a special day for Americans to come together to have fun and make a difference for kids in need. CC Winn Silverline Dance Team decided to join in on the "fun"-raising and celebrated Red Nose Day Thursday, May 26th. The girls and guys contributed to the cause at Walgreens. 
Co-Captain Adriana Ayala said, "This is a cool thing to do because people don't realize that we have kids going through this in our own school, so of course we want to help out." To which Captain, Mar Corral responded, "Our sponsors have taught us that as a member of Silverline we are are more than just dancers. We are ROLE MODELS, so it is our responsibility to do as much community service as we can. There is more than just dancing in our program." 
Keep up the great work ladies and way to be a role model to all our district!

In a world so overcome with television, video games, etc it is breathtaking to see students want to go back to the basics of curling up with a good book. The Falcon Book club is promoting writing, literacy, and the wonderful experience of students being able to write and publish their own books. Falcon Book club would like to thank Dr. Claudia Rodriguez-Wright and Dr. Martin Guevara Urbina whom shared their personal experiences as authors and served as inspirational role models.

Ivana Muza to attend Young Yale Scholars Program

C C WINN High School is proud to announce that Ivana Muza, 11th grade GEAR UP student has been selected to participate in the Young Yale Global Scholars program with paid tuition, room and board, hosted at Yale University in New Haven Connecticut.
The Young Yale Global Scholars offer interdisciplinary and pre-collegiate sessions. Participants will live and work together as a community in an environment and curriculum tailored especially for high achieving high school students like Ivana.
Admission is very selective. For example, for summer 2015 Young Yale Global Scholars accepted around 27% of all applications for its three sessions. In Ivana’s case, she competed for a spot with around 115 applicants from 115 countries and at least one applicant from all 50 USA states.  
Ivana Muza applied for the Sustainability, Energy and Environment session hosted from July 26th – August 8th 2016; in which she will be able to analyze and discuss how people have influenced the environment and what effects it has had in present day society. Emphasis will be given to issues arising in agriculture, food security, climate change, biodiversity, sustainable development, evolutionary patterns and migration.
Ivana’s application essay spotlighted on the fact that living near the Rio Grande River and living in one of the poorest counties in the U.S.  Has given her a perspective of the climate and the environment that not many have.
Ivana’s application consisted of one main essay, three short responses, a resume, two recommendation letters, as well as financial aid application.
Due to this recognition, GEAR UP IV will be providing with additional costs such as transportation and meals so that Ivana may attend.

CC Winn High School Administration, GEAR UP IV, and EPISD
would like to congratulate Ivana for a job well done.

2016 Graduation Tips and Procedures



TIP 1:
With close to 500 seniors graduating from both high schools traffic can become over-whelming. This is why we are highly suggesting for guests to use the alternate route to the Student Activity Center.
Taking Loop 480 to 277 will help break up traffic in front of the Student Activity Center and help the process of allowing vehicles in and out of the parking lot.

TIP 2:
Dress Code! All students participating in the graduation ceremonies must be compliant with school dress code policy. Any student not in compliance will not be allowed to participate. This includes no markings, messages, or labels on the cap or the gown. And finally, high heels are absolutely not allowed on the field! Girls may only wear flat-footed shoes. 

Tip 3:
Certain items are absolutely not allowed on the field! Backpacks, purses, sacs, or bags of any kind cannot be brought in by the graduate. No foreign objects like beach balls, balloons, air horns etc are allowed on the field. If you are caught with one you will be dismissed and may cause for the entire ceremony to be cancelled! And of course TELECOMMUNICATION devices like phones and cameras are prohibited infield during graduation ceremony.

Tip 4:
All students must line up on the field already in cap and gown for procession. Every student is expected to behave appropriately and act respectfully towards all the people there to honor them. If behavior becomes an issue the student will be dismissed from the ceremony and they will have to pick up their diploma on the next business day at their home campus.

Tip 5:
The last bit of information is in case of inclement of weather. If there is rain on graduation day, the EPHS' ceremony will be moved to 10:00 am Saturday and for Winn it would be moved to Sunday June 5th. So, if it is raining the day of your assigned graduation please tune into your local radio station, watch channel 16 or call your campus to receive further details.


Graduation is an important time in all our lives and if we follow all these tips and procedures the class of 2016’s graduation is sure to be one for record books!

Winn Leaders Gather in Celebration



The club leaders of C.C. Winn High School gathered on April 20th for the annual Student Leadership Luncheon in honor of National Student Leadership Week.
Every year Winn Student Council hosts a luncheon for all the presidents/captains of the school's organizations and teams as an acknowledgement for the hard work they do all year long. The luncheon consisted of a catered lunch and speeches from Eagle Pass Independent School District Superintendent Gilberto Gonzalez and C.C. Winn High School Principal Jesus Diaz-Wever.
            These individuals have worked tirelessly their whole lives to be the best leader of their respective groups. That same determination will follow them into their future.
            “I am always very proud of the accomplishments the students bring to C.C. Winn High School,” Diaz said. “Every leader in this room has made a difference in our clubs, organizations and overall school pride.”
Not only does C.C. Winn contain great student leadership, they have a great staff that is always thinking of new ways to reinvent the norm.
“Winn StuCo has always tried to be a trend-setter within our school district. Amongst the many events that we have established at our school is the Student Leadership Luncheon. The gathering celebrates all group leaders in conjunction with National Student Leadership Week, which is held every year in April,” Student Council Sponsor, Juan Jose Olivares said. “Everyone says that our teenagers are the leaders of tomorrow...well, we believe these Mavericks are excellent leaders today.”
In his closing remarks, Superintendent Gonzalez emphasized a key characteristic of the best kind of leader, something all the individuals can take home and apply to their own responsibilities.
“A good leader holds a steady eye on their vision whereas a great leader focuses on the nurturing of his peers,” Gonzalez said. “With nurtured peers a leader will have an army of support to tackle his vision.”

Seco Mines GT Engineering Science Fair






Seco Mines Elementary's GT students held their Engineering Science Fair Wednesday, April 13th, 2016. The 1st and 2nd grade GT students have been studying force and motion, so they presented wall marble mazes, a Keynote presentation and catapults.  

3rd and 4th grade studied Sir Isaac Newton's Laws of Motion,  aerodynamics, force and motion, friction,  rolling resistance,  wheel and axle, car engineering and design.  
For their first car construction, the students had a $700 budget in which they could only use the items provided by the teacher which included mints, straws, Popsicle sticks, paper clips, and note cards. This car was tested on the floor, on a ramp, jumping from a ramps, and also tested for accidents. The cars had to roll without any resistance. 
For the second car, the GT students had to use recycled materials only. In addition to the aforementioned tests, they also had to make sure that the car could carry a marble without the marble flying out. This required the car to have to pass a safety test, which prompted the GT students to create some kind of a seat belt for the marble.

Lastly, the 5th and 6th grade GT students presented amusement park-type engineering and design. They had roller coasters, water slides, and  a Ferris wheel.  They all needed to be able to explain how their project worked using physics vocabulary terms.

The Seco Mines Elementary students and teachers truly enjoyed the presentations and projects.
