Make Your Mark On Education

Make your mark on education at the annual La Marque Independent School District Education Summit. At La Marque ISD we realize we are in partnership with our community leaders, residents, businesses and civic organizations to create citizens who can forge a future we can be proud of. We also realize that education doesn’t stop in the classroom. Education that is not translated to a person’s daily life is just book learning.

With that in mind, our education summit will feature a variety of nonprofit organizations, health and safety activities and workshops designed to create a spirit of education inside the home. Our students will perform and parents will be taught ways to encourage children to develop a love of learning.

I invite each of you to attend this unique education summit from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 5. This is the only education summit of its kind in the county. That means it offers a real, first-hand view of how a community builds significant foundations to bridge education with the improvement of the quality of life.

We expect  about 2,000 people to attend. More than 50 community booths will be available for you to peruse and dozens of workshops will be available for you to learn from. Speakers from throughout the community will discuss issues such as finance, mortgage, health care, home safety and other issues relevant to quality of life issues.

            So, “Marque Your Calendar” to attend this event in the spirit of academic excellence for our students and our community.
