According to the Killeen Independent School District website, beginning on Monday, June 3, kids have the opportunity to eat healthy throughout the summer at no cost.
It's Substitute Teacher Appreciation Week, and it’s important to show them recognition now more than ever, because Central Texas has been short on subs for years.
In an effort to spur on registration for a pair of new Killeen elementary schools not yet open, the district deployed its mobile STEM lab with its on-board technology and connectivity.
The eye-catching vehicle parked on an undeveloped street recently within easy view of the new Pat Carney Elementary School, still under construction at Estancia West on the west side of Clear Creek Road.
Numerous family members parked on the street and a few walked from nearby houses to visit the mobile lab and to register children for school.
The mobile STEM lab also pulled up to the new Killeen Elementary School on Rancier Avenue to provide registration for families in that attendance zone.
