A lot of hard work has paid off for the Wildcat Cross Country Team. The team is headed to State after placing 3rd out of the top 4 teams at the Regional Competition. Congratulations to team members; Tyler Barnard, Mason Munoz, Manny Romero, Eduardo Cabrera, Chris Rangel, Taylor Rosson, and Allan Marquez. The State Competition is this Saturday (November 8, 2014) in Round Rock at Old Settler’s Park. Palestine will run at 11:00 am. Good luck to the Wildcats and Coach John Absalom!

The Ladycat Cross Country Team placed 9th out of 24 teams at the Regional Competition.  Team members are: Olivia Cone, Jessica King, Karina Trejo, Macy Everhart, Vanessa Mendoza, Ashley Davis, and Ashleigh Martinez. All of these runners will return next year so we look forward to a great 2015 season! 

Palestine ISD will honor all veterans with special assemblies on Veterans Day, Tuesday, November 11th. Veterans Day got its start in 1918 when an armistice between Germany and the Allied nations came into effect. This took place on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, and then on November 11, 1919, Armistice Day (Veterans Day) was commemorated for the first time.  On Veterans Day and every day we owe a big THANK YOU to all who have served and all

who are still serving our great country so that every American can live free.

Come out and support the Palestine Wildcat Football Team tonight as they play the Brownsboro Bears at 7:30 pm. Seniors participating in fall sports will be honored at 7:00 pm. GO WILDCATS!

Mrs. Dominguez' advanced Spanish classes and PHS Spanish Club went to the Ennio Emmanuel concert at Bullard ISD on November 5th, as part of the Spanish Department’s unending effort to expose the students to this magnificent language and culture. The students enjoyed inspiring music, a positive message, took part in dancing, singing, great food, and even played percussion instruments with the accomplished humanitarian singer. This was an effort to keep uplifting students by exposing them to an international star such as Ennio who is down to Earth and is a living example of service to our world community.

Our pumpkin themed unit was a great fall activity which incorporated language arts, math, social studies, science and art. Students learned about pumpkins and their life cycle and concluded the unit with carving their pumpkins. We weighed, measured, rolled, painted, and decorated our pumpkins, besides many other

fun activities. Now we know everything there is to know about PUMPKINS!
