RAYMONDVILLE PROUD ..... GO BEARKATS!

Dear RISD Community,

It has been a pleasure and I have enjoyed the last few months visiting schools, attending events and visiting local businesses.

RISD has had many success stories in a  very short time, this included our extracurricular district performances.

Congratulations to the Mighty Bearkat Band for earning a Division 1 rating at the 75th Annual Pigskin Jubilee Band Competition held in Donna, Texas. Although unable to attend Pigskin, my wife and I were there in spirit. We enjoy watching the High School Band support our Football Team during the games and especially enjoy the halftime performances. The Band performance makes the night complete when the air fills with music and pride.

Volleyball has been making a statement at RISD. The Lady Bearkats have played with great pride and determination coming in 2nd in District. They take on Rockport Fulton in Alice on Monday, October 30th.

The Varsity Football team is undefeated going into week 9 of High School Football.  Come out and support our Bearkats as they take on the Bobcats at Rio Hondo Friday, October 27th, kick off is at 7:30 PM.

I would like to thank all our RISD community and staff for supporting the student body in the efforts to showcase their skills demonstrating that RISD is a strong force in the Region and across the state.

Go Bearkats!
