East Bernard Independent School District

PEP RALLY LOCATION CHANGE: Due to mechanical issues with the JH gym bleachers, Friday's pep rally has been moved to Memorial Stadium. The pep rally will begin at 2:55pm. Parents, your designated seating area will be the far east section closest to the field house (where the Woodlands sat last Friday). Please enter through the field house gate. Important: Dismissal from the stadium takes a little longer than usual and our elementary car riders will have to walk back to campus and then begin dismissal. Bus riders may run a few minutes behind as well. Consider this your "heads up" that it might take longer than usual to begin your weekend :) We apologize for the change and hope to be back to normal by next Friday. On a side note, the visitor bleachers are complete and open for business! Visitors will return to the visiting side beginning with tonight's JH & JV matchups against Ganado. Thank you and GO BRAHMAS!!

A big "THANK YOU" goes out to Cullen and Ava for leading us in the pledges at last night's monthly board meeting. Cullen and Ava, (pictured with Mrs. Bosse), were chosen from the elementary for their kindness, Brahma spirit, and stellar academic performance. We are proud of you!!!

Important Update: JH Volleyball Home Games Children are not allowed to play in the gym foyer during home games. Parents, thank you for ensuring your child stays in the stands with you.

Hey all you Brahma fans, our first varsity home football game is TONIGHT at 7:30! We want to remind you that we will share the home side bleachers with our opponent's fans. Please welcome them to our school and community and show them our Brahma hospitality. The section closest to the field house will be roped off for their fans and cheerleaders to sit. We realize this will condense the available seating for our Brahma fans, so let's do our best to be courteous to one another. Thank you and GO BRAHMAS!!

FOOTBALL season is almost here! Our home games kick off soon and our goal is to provide an exciting, safe, and welcoming environment for our players, fans, and visitors. Please review the Memorial Stadium rules prior to our first kickoff. We rely on your partnership for a great football season! The guide is also available at: https://5il.co/2u2vy IMPORTANT: EBISD takes pride in our students and staff and their performance and dedication to excellence in all extracurricular activities. EBISD will have a zero-tolerance policy for fans and parents who approach an official, coach, or staff member in a confrontational manner just before, during, or after an extracurricular activity or competitive event. Please understand this behavior will result in ejection from the event and future suspension from attending activities at EBISD. All concerns should be directed to the appropriate sponsor/coach or administrator no sooner than the following day. The parties may then set up a conference to work towards a resolution. Thank you and GO BRAHMAS!! ¡La temporada de FÚTBOL ya casi está aquí! Nuestros juegos en casa comienzan pronto y nuestro objetivo es brindar un ambiente emocionante, seguro y acogedor para nuestros jugadores, fanáticos y visitantes. Revise las reglas del Memorial Stadium antes de nuestro primer saque inicial. ¡Contamos con su colaboración para una gran temporada de fútbol! La guía también está disponible en: https://5il.co/2u2vy IMPORTANTE: EBISD se enorgullece de nuestros estudiantes y personal y de su desempeño y dedicación a la excelencia en todas las actividades extracurriculares. EBISD tendrá una política de tolerancia cero para los fanáticos y padres que se acerquen a un funcionario, entrenador o miembro del personal de manera conflictiva justo antes, durante o después de una actividad extracurricular o evento competitivo. Por favor comprenda que este comportamiento resultará en la expulsión del evento y la suspensión futura de asistir a actividades en EBISD. Todas las inquietudes deben dirigirse al patrocinador/entrenador o administrador correspondiente no antes del día siguiente. Luego, las partes pueden organizar una conferencia para trabajar hacia una resolución. ¡¡Gracias y VAMOS BRAHMAS!!

Upcoming Football Games and Visitor Seating The damage our visitor stands sustained in May came at one of the worst times. Bleacher companies are booked out for summer fabrication and installation months out and our project was put at the back of the line. Therefore, we will not have visitor bleachers until the week of September 16th. To accommodate visiting fans, we will share our home-side seating and concessions for a few games (listed below). We are asking our community to please extend your "Brahma Family" hospitality to our visitors and do all we can to welcome them to Memorial Stadium. We will have additional ticket takers and security on the home side for the varsity game against Woodlands Christian on 9/6. Additionally, we will have a section of the home bleachers designated for visitors only (the small section nearest the field house) at the varsity game on 9/6. For sub-varsity games, a designated area will not be assigned as a smaller crowd is easily accommodated with ample home-side seating. Games to share home-side seating and concessions: August 29th, JV game vs Goliad September 5th, 8th grade vs Tomball Christian September 6th, Varsity vs Woodlands Christian September 12th, JH & JV vs Ganado Please help us spread the word to our EB fans! Go Brahmas!
