SAN ANTONIO – Two San Antonio elementary school students learned a lot more than they anticipated after they took part in a Comal Independent School District conversation contest back in January.
According to the district, Ethan Jaramillo, a third-grade student from Indian Springs Elementary School, became visibly upset when he learned that he did not win this year’s Comal Shake, a district-wide competition that is designed to develop interpersonal and conversational skills. In the moment, he tried his best to fight back tears.
