Celebrating Childrenās Book Week at Garcia Middle School! šāØ
Last week, Garcia Middle School celebrated Childrenās Book Week! They brought their favorite stories to life by dressing up each day with a fun theme and students participated in creative activities throughout the week.
Students who came by the library showcased their creativity by:
Designing bookmarks to celebrate their love of reading.
Redesigning their favorite book covers, giving classic stories a fresh, personal twist.
It was inspiring to see our students share their favorite books, explore new stories, and let their imaginations shine. A big thank-you to everyone who participated and made this week so memorable! šš
Our students participated in the GoāSlowāWhoa Nutrition Game during P.E., a fun and interactive activity that helped them identify healthy food choices! š„¦šš
Students took on an exciting Pac-Man challenge, racing to ābeat out diabetesā by making healthy choices and learning the importance of balanced nutrition and physical activity. šŖ
š£ļø Message from Coaches Gracie Garcia, Brenda Leal, and Mario Garza:
āWe are so proud of my students for giving their best during the GoāSlowāWhoa Challenge! We always remind them that staying active isnāt just about getting stronger or fasterāitās about keeping their bodies healthy on the inside, too. When we move every day, eat more GO foods like fruits, veggies, and whole grains, and limit sugary snacks, weāre building lifelong habits that help prevent diabetes and keep our energy high all day long. Keep it up, Lobosāyouāre making great choices for your health!ā š
Weāre proud of our students for learning how small, smart choices can make a big difference in their lifelong health!
#DiabetesAwareness #HealthyKids #CATCHPE #LaJoyaISD #GoSlowWhoa
Their creativity, teamwork, and artistic flair were truly inspiring as they brought their vision to life for all to see. šš

November is a wonderful time to celebrate the joy of reading and the importance of literacyāboth at home and at school! We encourage everyone to take part by promoting family reading activities throughout the month. Your campus library will also be sharing fun literacy activities with students to inspire a love for books and storytelling.
Here are a few simple ways to get started:
š Read Together: Encourage students to read with a family member and record their reading minutes each week.
š Share Your Reading Spot: Have families submit a photo of their favorite cozy āreading spotā at home.
š Book Talk: Invite students to share a short book review or recommendation about a story they loved.
š§ Listen & Learn: Take time for daily or weekly read-aloud sessionsāstudents love hearing their teachers read!
In addition, weāll be celebrating Childrenās Book Week with a fun Dress-Up Spirit Week! š
Each day will highlight a special theme inspired by childrenās literature and reading (see the attached form for details).
Letās all join in, dress up, and celebrate the power of reading together! ā¤ļøš
