For their support of students and staff at the Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District, students, administrators and teachers are taking time throughout the month of January to show their appreciation for the district’s Board of Trustees.

“I appreciate our Board of Trustees because they help our schools get a better education,” said Donna Alvarez, student at Bowie Elementary.

Every January, HCISD celebrates Board Recognition Month, which honors local school board members for their work in the community. All campuses will display messages of appreciation on their marquees and halls. In addition, the district’s website will showcase each member during the week of Jan. 13 through Jan. 20.

“We are truly thankful for the support and leadership our Board of Trustees provide as we continue our district’s transformation and remain committed to our mission of providing our 18,602 students with a quality education,” said Superintendent Dr. Arturo Cavazos. “Our Board of Trustees are outstanding, and I believe one of the best in the state and nation.”

To commemorate the 2014 celebration, members will be presented with a token of gratitude during the regular Board of Trustees meeting on Jan.14. The token will be a collection of artwork from students.

Below is a collection of some of their submitted artwork:
