TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY VACCINATION HUB

Thousands upon thousands of people have been vaccinated for COVID-19 thanks to the vaccination hub at Texas Motor Speedway! There have been nothing but positive reviews from those who have gone and are thankful for those who are out there servicing their community. This hub had to close temporarily during the winter storm, but has been back up and running since.

BOOK VENDING MACHINES

Clara Love Elementary has added book vending machines on campus! Students can earn “Love Bucks” which they can redeem for prizes, one of those prizes being a token for the book vending machine. On top of that, every week teachers will choose a “bookworm” from each class to receive a gold coin and they can use their coin in the book vending machines. What a fun way to get kids excited to read!
