While McCord celebrated the 100th day of the school year last Friday, our pre-kindergarten students were not through celebrating. Today they're celebrating the 101st day of the school year by dressing like Dalmations and watching the movie "101 Dalmatians."
Some of our students aged overnight, as they showed up at school today dressed as senior citizens to celebrate the 100th day of school. Don't they look great?
Rhea Snow is wearing 100 glow stick bracelets in celebration of today being our 100th day of school because she is "100 days brighter" than she was when the school year began. Awesome job Rhea!!
Some students and teacher/staff celebrated our 100th day of school today by wearing a "100" t-shirt.
Selected as Students of the Week this week for McCord Elementary were:
1st Grade -- Anahi Riojas, Cynthia Carranza, Jayden Burke, Averi Ortiz, Brayden Carr, Addax Schur, Evelyn Lira Trinidad and Mason Smith (not pictured)

Tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 2, is the 100th day of our 2023-24 school year, and the 1st graders at McCord got a jump on the celebration. Each student made an autograph book and was tasked with getting autographs from 100 of their classmates. They were definitely enjoying the project this afternoon.
We apologize for the delay. Here is the VISD Cafeteria Menu for February.

In just four short months the 2023-24 school year will be over and pre-k youngsters in our community will be heading off to kindergarten. There are certain skills youngsters should know as they move into kindergarten. Along with teachers going over these skills in pre-k, our hope is that parents will work on these skills with their children at home. The goal of sharing this information is to help better prepare our future Lions for kindergarten!
