Aldine Connection
A Newsletter for the Staff and Community of Aldine ISD
Dear Aldine ISD Families and Staff Members,
Can you believe we all experienced a historic event this past week? According to meteorologist Jeff Lindner, Houston hasn’t had a winter event like that since 1895. During the inauguration, 50 of our students also witnessed history while visiting Washington, D.C. Even though the weather prevented them from attending the event, they covered much ground by visiting museums and hobnobbing with elected officials. While I am glad everyone was safe at home earlier this week enjoying the snow, I am happy to see our students back in the classroom learning, growing, and thriving.
There is so much to celebrate as we kick off this new year! Let’s start with a big congratulations to Aldine ISD alum Aaron Glenn, a proud Nimitz High School graduate recently named the New York Jets head coach. His story reminds us of the incredible potential in all of our students.
Speaking of making an #AldineImpact, Newsweek featured our groundbreaking HEAL Program at NimitzHigh School! Thanks to a $31 million grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies, this collaboration with Memorial Hermann Health System is transforming educational experiences for our students and health and wellness in our community.
