Empower Today, Inspire Tomorrow
It's that time of year when our school events come to a close and our yearbook staff at all our campuses put the final touches on our K-12 Jolly Roger Yearbook. ANYONE who plans to buy a yearbook can customize the first two pages of the book with YOUR OWN PHOTOS for FREE!
On Tuesday, February 22, 2022 the H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards Team, with some help from H‑E‑B Buddy, surprised everyone at Lytle Elementary to announce that Principal Wendy Conover is selected as one of 5 finalists for their awards program. We are so proud and thankful that H‑E‑B has recognized Mrs. Conover for all she has done for her campus and the students in our district!
Save the Date! On Saturday, May 21st, the Chamber of Commerce will be hosting their 2nd annual Food Truck Rally to raise funds for the Miriam Lovelace Scholarship Fund.
Last night, May 17, 2022, we celebrated all our athletes and the many accomplishments each program was able to accomplish this 2021-22 school year. I have attached a few pictures of the main awards given out by the coaches as a whole program and our two scholarships.
Thank you to our campus and district leaders and administrators AND ALL who made sure everyone who works for our district felt appreciated for their part in our many successes.
This video was produced by H-E-B to honor Lytle Elementary Principal, Mrs. Wendy Conover, a top five finalist at the H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards Gala held the weekend of April 29 through May 1 in Austin. Her family, friends, community and our district are so proud. Thank you, H-E-B for making sure educators everywhere know how important and valuable they are to our communities.
Each May, Better Hearing & Speech Month (BHSM) provides an opportunity to raise awareness about communication disorders and the role of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists in both the school and health care settings.
This was an amazing ride that will continue for another few weeks at the STATE Track Meet in Austin. First, congratulations to all the track athletes who qualified for the Regional Meet this past weekend. These student athletes represented Lytle ISD with pride and I could not be prouder of their efforts.
Pirate baseball hosted the Cotulla Cowboys on Friday, April 28, 2022 for the final game of District 27AAA competition.
On Saturday, April 30, 2022, Alex Medina, represented the Lytle Track team in the Regional Discus Competition. Last week we spent the week practicing as he was scheduled as the last thrower in the first flight of 8. In the Regional competition, the sixteen best qualifiers are divided into two flights of 8 for the first three throws.
The Lady Pirates Track Season came to an end on Saturday, April 30, 2022, but it wasn't due to lack of effort. They turned in some of their best performances of the year. However, they just ran into some SPEED and some SUPER Freshman girls.
Day 1 is in the books for the Region IV-3A Meet in Seguin, April 29, 2022. We had 2 events that Lytle was participating in, the Boys 3200m and Girls 4x400m Relay.
They did it again! The Junior High Baseball team went out and showed why they are special and everything a coach lives for!
There was a playoff-type atmosphere in the air last night, April 26, 2022, at the hill. Great pitching performances and defensive plays, squandered opportunities, and clutch hitting.
Coach Bippert and I are old and, well I guess I will say experienced. However, we get a shot of youth and excitement every time we are around the Junior High baseball team! It's like watching “The Sandlot” every day.
On Saturday, April 23, 2022, the High School UIL Academic teams competed at the Regional Meet with some pretty fantastic results.
The boys track team traveled to Columbus, TX this past Wednesday, April 20, 2022, to compete in the Area Track Meet. Jose Cortez started the day in the 3200 Meter Run and finished 3rd overall with 10:49.31, advancing to the Regional Track Meet.
These girls have continued to work hard and improve throughout their short season. Last Thursday, April 21, 2022, they traveled to Natalia, and 7th Grade defeated the Mustangs 10-7, a significant improvement over their showing from a few weeks before. 8th Grade fell 4-3, but played with incredible energy.
We didn’t start our morning as we had hoped as one of our athletes didn’t get on the bus after multiple attempts. So, five girls that have worked through Saturday's, Spring Break and even through this past holiday, got on that bus in hopes of extending their season another week.
Last Tuesday, April 12, 2022, the girls were defeated in 8 innings against Dilley. Even though Lytle had 13 hits, our errors and Dilley’s 20 hits earned them the victory. Leading the offense were Calyssa Sevier, Natalie Pacheco, and Moriah Gomez. Each had multiple hits. Sevier also hit one over the fence with a runner on.
Yesterday, Lytle throwers left before the sun rose to head to the Area Meet in Columbus, Texas. I had never been to Columbus even though I had driven by it on I-10. Before the Meet even began the one Lytle Lady Pirate thrower missed the bus. As much as we all tried to reach her in this age of mass communication April did not respond. April had a good chance to advance but finished her six years as a Lytle thrower number three on the top ten throwers for Lytle at 33'-9". She is also the 7th Grade girls record holder in the shot and the discus.
On the trip down, we thought our bus was breaking down...then it didn't. When we arrived in Stockdale, we thought we were going to get rained out...then it stopped. And, after our 6th inning rally, we thought we had the game won...but we didn't.
ytle Junior High baseball chalked up 2 more wins last night in Pearsall. This group of Junior High baseball players continues to impress us with their tenacity and grit. They are fun to watch.
