On December 13, 2023, Senior Itzet Hernandez walked onto the turf at AT&T Stadium to photograph the UIL State Football Games for two separate newspapers. Itzet covered the first game for The Weatherford Democrat and the second game for The Palo Pinto Press. Her passion has always been Sports Photography, with a special interest in Football. Thank you to Sally Sexton & Geoff Heppes from The Weatherford Democrat and to Kellci Ford & Ann Powers from The Palo Pinto Press for making this happen for Itzet Hernandez. You can find Itzet's photos of the UIL 1A Football State Championships here: https://www.weatherforddemocrat.com/gallery/more-photos-gordon-vs-westbrook-playoff-football---1ad1-state-championship-game/collection_5ae8a910-9ab4-11ee-b84c-2b5713802f7a.html

As we update our collection, many books are being weeded. These books are still in good condition and in need of new homes! Please come by the Strawn ISD Library on November 13, 2023, between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM, to fill a bag or a box with FREE books to take home with you! We will have both fiction & nonfiction, chapter books, and picture books. Books may have cataloging stickers on cover and stamps/leveling info inside cover. Please contact Cassandra Ellis with any questions! (254) 672-5776 *Weeding is a necessary part of proper library curation as nonfiction titles age out of accuracy, as we receive new titles, and as we contend with limited shelving!

Strawn ISD is excited to announce that our STEM program received a grant from Mineral Wells Walmart! This will be beneficial in helping us buy a 3D printer and other useful programming/algorithm tools for all ages! We are excited to see our program learn more and get more experience!
