Big thank you to the EdEN Lab at UT and the Spread the Harvest program through the Sustainable Food Center for their donation of compost, fall plant starts and seeds to our school garden!

6th grade RLA classes came to the library this week for their lessons! Mrs. Thomas's classes learned about our 36th President—Lyndon B. Johnson—in preparation for their field trip to the LBJ Library on the UT Campus! They are excited to see the exhibits we previewed from the library site!

Mrs. Goehmann's classes and Coach Blank's classes listened to their second Bluebonnet book—The Invisible Parade by Leigh Bardugo, illustrated by John Picacio. They learned about the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) celebration, when it is held, and how this occasion is celebrated.

Let's give a HUGE congratulations to our 7th grade A Team Volleyball girls for finishing their season UNDEFEATED and earning the title of District Champions!

These girls have put in countless hours of hard work, dedication, and determination throughout the season. From their first practice to the final point, they showed what it means to be a team. They pushed each other to get better, play with heart, and never back down from a challenge.

But what makes this team so special goes far beyond their undefeated record. It's their positive attitudes, willingness to work for one another, and the way they supported and encouraged each other every step of the way. They didn't just win games- they represented our school with pride.

Coach Lo could not be prouder of this incredible group of young ladies and could not have asked for a better group to share this accomplishment with. I hope that you all are just as proud of yourselves as I am of you!

An undefeated season is no easy accomplishment, and these girls have earned every bit of this title!

Let's give our 7th grade A team Volleyball DISTRICT CHAMPS a huge round of applause for an unforgettable season!

Your 7th grade B team ended the season by playing their last game with all 17 players. These ladies have worked very hard this year to improve their skills and learn the game of volleyball.

Congratulations on a very successful season!

Your 8th grade A team ended the season with a big win over Ingram, getting the job done in 2 sets; 25-16, 25-22. They played as a family; always being there for each other and celebrating each other's successes. It has been a great joy seeing these ladies grow over the past 2 years. Your DISTRICT CHAMPIONS and 8th grade A team consists of:

Vala Steveson

Esmee Sanchez

Brooke Bailey

Kessler McLeod

Aubrey Abbott

Poppy Madrid

Caroline Bucklin

Addison Rogers

Macee Dick

Eleanor Bonnett

Your 8th grade B Team ended the season as DISTRICT CHAMPS!!! Way to go ladies! Your district champs worked hard all season and I couldn’t be more proud. We battled and defeated Ingram in two sets last night to seal our undefeated season. The growth these girls have had has been exponential. I am beyond proud of you and can't wait to see all that you accomplish in the future. Sting Em!

The Llano Junior High Cross Country season came to an exciting finish on Wednesday, October 14, at the District 25-3A Cross Country Meet on our home course at Llano High School! Your Llano Lady Jackets swept the girls’ divisions for the 4th year in a row, and the 7th Grade Boys brought home a District Championship, too!

This group of 42 junior high runners worked hard all season to continue the proud Jacket Cross Country legacy, and they had championships on their minds from the start!

The 7th grade girls were challenged yesterday by Florence, but they rose to the occasion and came out on TOP with a District Championship! Leading off for the 7th grade girls were Isabella Schehr (2nd), Averi Abbott (3rd), Brooklyn Smith (4th), Clara Pool (7th), Lily Cardeno (9th) and Emily Scoggins (10th). The 7th Grade Girls were excited to celebrate the BIG WIN with all of its team members that also included Claire Allen, Luna Arguello, Adelyn Corcorran, Violet Guido, Kynlie Jackson, Paola Jaramillo, Izabella Kirkpatrick, Karleigh Loudermilk, Marley Miller, Denver Morris, Preslee Morrison, Jenni Reyes, Ana Sitjar, Lindzey Smart, Magi Virdell and Andrea Walker.

Congratulations, Lady Jackets! Your hard work paid off!

The 8th Grade Lady Jackets WON the District Championship for the SIXTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR! Even more impressive, every Llano Lady Jacket competing in the 8th grade division finished in the TOP 15! Leading off for the 8th grade girls was Back-to-Back District Champion Aubrey Abbott, Kessler McLeod (4th), Caroline Bucklin (7th), Paycen Merritt (8th), Madelyn Smith (9th), Ramsey Patick (10th), Macee Dick (13th) and Paislee Lynch (15th).

Their hard work and dedication made this season one to remember.

Our Llano Junior High Cross Country team had an outstanding 2026 season! With hard work and determination, our athletes pushed through every challenge, achieving personal records and showing incredible team spirit.
