NOVEMBER BOARD REPORT
Heroes in the Hallway

Stewart Elementary staff and students were spotlighted for their efforts to support veterans and their children. They recently lead several CCISD schools in a very special welcome to more than 40 wounded and recovering soldiers and their families visiting the Bay Area. They were visiting from Brooks Army Medical Center in San Antonio for a weekend of R&R and as VIP guests at the Salute to Military Service & First Responders activities in Kemah. As the buses carrying the soldiers and their families toured through Kemah and League City, students and staff lined the streets to welcome and cheer for the troops. Stewart Elementary students also prepared goodie bags and wrote notes of encouragement for the children of the soldiers to surprise them when they arrived at their hotel.

Item of Interest

A public hearing was held regarding the Texas Financial Integrity Rating System where the District earned the highest rating possible for the 15th straight year.

CCISD IMPACT
The CCISD IMPACT project is the District's community service awareness campaign aimed to share with the public the everyday influence students are having on their world. Throughout the 2017-2018 school year, the District is spotlighting the wide impacts of community service events and activities happening at every campus and even District support departments. Some of the activities that will be spotlighted may be expressly created service projects in response to the long-term needs of families impacted by the floods. While others have become cherished and meaningful service traditions in that school. 

Below are the latest IMPACT sightings across Clear Creek ISD.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

November 3, 2017 marked the poignant end of a 31-year journey for a soccer ball, a family and a school. During halftime of that November 3 Clear Lake High School versus Clear Creek High School Friday football game, a special reunion took place bringing people bound together by a soccer ball that was intended to fly on the Space Shuttle Challenger 51L mission in 1986. Challenger Astronaut Colonel Ellison Onizuka had originally intended to take the ball on his journey into space on the ill-fated flight. His daughter, Janelle Onizuka, was a member of the Clear Lake High School soccer team in 1986. She and her teammates had signed the soccer ball before giving it to her father before the flight. 

Soon after the Challenger accident, the soccer ball was discovered in the accident debris and eventually returned to Clear Lake High School. Expedition 50 Commander Col. Shane Kimbrough offered to take the soccer ball with him on his recent mission to the International Space Station, allowing the ball to complete its journey into space. Watch the full story above which made national news!
