Kids compete at UIL meet

It was a bright, early and chilly Saturday morning when most people are in bed under warm blankets enjoying not having to go to school or work. Early risers may have been up watching cartoons. However, students, and their teachers assembled on this fateful morning at HUDSON PEP for the UIL meet.
Seven LISD elementary schools gathered for a UIL Academics meet at Hudson PEP. A total of 450 students participated in the second annual district UIL Academics meet on Sat., Jan. 28.
Community leaders, LISD educators, college and high school students volunteered to serve as judges for the event. C. Jeannine Brandon, English III Longview Global High School and UIL District Academic Coordinator thanked Hudson PEP principal Sue Wilson and her staff for hosting the meet. In addition, she is appreciative of the principals, coordinators, and coaches who prepared students for the meet. Also, she thanks the parents who came to support their little ones.
