Getting ready to head to state!!
Ms. Zwahr & Mrs. Marek’s 11th & 12th graders headed to HEB for a hands-on learning experience today! Students compared prices, made shopping decisions, and purchased ingredients to make a complete meal. And the best part? They came in UNDER budget!
After shopping, we finished up with lunch at Gringo’s where the students explored the menu and learned how meal choices, drinks, sales tax and tips all add up when dining out.
From budgeting and money management to decision-making and real-world independence, it was a day full of valuable learning experiences!
Walkthru for state band!!!
Who knew Oreos could teach geology? 🌎 Aquatic Science students in Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Erfurdt’s classes got hands-on with tectonic plate boundaries by using Oreo cookies to model how Earth’s plates move. From divergent and convergent boundaries to transform boundaries, students explored what happens when plates pull apart, collide, and slide past one another. Learning science is always a little sweeter with Oreos! #HandsOnLearning #EarthScience #TectonicPlates #LearningIsSweet

The annual AP US History costume contest was held in Ms. Guillen's class last Thursday, and her students did a wonderful job!
First and foremost, congratulations to our 2026 Needville ISD Band for advancing to the UIL State Marching Contest in San Antonio, on November 11th. The band will perform at 1:45 p.m. at the Alamodome. This is an amazing accomplishment for our students, directors, and our entire community. Countless hours are poured into the team. We also want to congratulate our parents on their late nights and support of their personal students and all the band.
Second, because of the importance of this event there will be no school on Nov. 11th for any Needville ISD campus. We have many educators who are parents of band students and will need numerous substitutes, and we also have many substitutes who are family members of band students. We have many teachers who want to support their past and present students with this wonderful accomplishment. We also encourage our community to be there, be loud, and celebrate along with our school community.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
