If you have any gently used formal or semiformal dresses, Tuxedos and sports coats and ties that you would like to donate, we would be immensely grateful for your contribution. Your generosity will directly impact the lives of our students and help make their prom experience truly unforgettable.

Huge thanks to the Laredo Police Department for visiting our campus today! Our robotics students got an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the advanced robotics equipment the LPD uses in the field every day.
From tactical maneuvers to remote operations, our "robotics kiddos" saw firsthand how the skills they’re learning in the lab translate into real-world careers that save lives.
Nothing inspires the next generation of engineers and public servants quite like seeing a robot in action! Who knows? We might have some future LPD Tech Specialists in our midst. 🚔✨

We are blown away by the response to our Eco-Ambassador campaign! 🌍 The judges are looking for "student-led campaigns that inspire the whole community," and you all are helping us do exactly that! 📣
From recycling in the cafeteria to carpooling to school, YOU are the reason we are going to win this for Cigarroa! ♻️🚗
Our goal this week was to get 5 friends to commit to one eco-friendly action... and we were way passed that! 🤯 This is the "social media buzz" and "student leadership" that sets us apart from other schools. We aren't just following rules; we are creating a movement!
YOUR MISSION FOR THE WEEKEND:
Get ONE friend who isn't already following this campaign to join us. Share this post with them! 📲 The more Bulldogs we have, the louder our message. Let’s make some noise for the environment!

Happy Friday, Bulldogs! ☀️
This week, we are turning our focus to a resource that is vital to us all: WATER. 💧 The Rio Grande is the lifeblood of Laredo, and it is our collective responsibility to respect and protect it. We can do this!
Did you know that even a tiny, dripping faucet can waste thousands of gallons of water a year? 🤯
We are taking real action: this week, we have been auditing school faucets and reporting leaks to our janitorial staff to save every drop. 🚰 By making small adjustments at school and at home, WE are making a massive difference for our city.
OUR WEEKEND CHALLENGE:
Talk to your family about water conservation. See if we can all challenge ourselves to take shorter showers. Comment "DROP" below if you and your family are committing to saving water with us! 👇 Let’s prove that every drop matters, and every Bulldog cares.

📣 CIGARROA MIDDLE SCHOOL, ATTENTION! 📣
The Laredo ISD Earth Day Challenge is officially here, and it’s our time to shine! 🌍 This isn’t just a district contest; it’s our opportunity to show everyone what true Bulldog Pride looks like in action. We are launching a student-led campaign to make Cigarroa the greenest campus in Laredo!
To help us get inspired, we’ve put up custom Cigarroa Bulldog motivational posters all around school! 🎨 They are created by Bulldogs, for Bulldogs, because our collective spirit is what will drive real change. Spot one in the cafeteria, by the gym, or in the main office and let it remind you of what we can achieve together.
We aren't just here to follow; we are here to LEAD. We are starting with the basics: "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle." ♻️ This initiative runs from March 2nd to April 15th, and we need EVERY single one of us to make an impact.
OUR FIRST COLLECTIVE MISSION: This weekend, let's all be mindful of our footprint. Before you throw anything away, ask: "Can we recycle this instead?" If you see a teammate, a teacher, or a friend making an eco-friendly choice, give them a shoutout! 🗣️ Let’s start creating some genuine "social media buzz" for our school! 📈🐾

A huge thank you to all the presenters who took the time out of their busy schedules to come and share their careers, experiences, and advice with our students. Your willingness to invest your time truly made an impact and helped inspire our students to start thinking about their future goals and possibilities.
We would also like to extend a special thank you to our amazing principal, Dr. Lori Moreno, for her continued support in making opportunities like this possible for our students.
Lastly, thank you to our Guidance Department for all the planning and teamwork that helped make today run so smoothly.
Our students had the chance to learn, ask questions, and be inspired by so many different career paths. Experiences like today remind us how important it is to connect learning with real-world opportunities.
We are Bulldog proud! 🐾
