Last week, acclaimed author and illustrator Nathan Hale visited Coppell High School, CISD middle schools, and Lakeside Elementary, captivating students with his engaging sessions that brought history to life. Hale, known for his Eisner-nominated and New York Times bestselling graphic novel series Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales, shared his passion for American history through storytelling and illustration. Students at CMS East, CMS West, CMS North, CHS, and Lakeside Elementary were inspired by his creative approach to history, which combines humor and vivid imagery to make the past exciting and relatable. Special thanks to our Parent and Teacher Organizations (PTOs) for partnering with the district to bring Nathan Hale here for this memorable experience for our students.

Coppell Middle School North has been awarded the prestigious 2024 Middle School Principal STEM Award, which comes with a grant exceeding $7,000 to support its Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs. The award, part of a new initiative by the Region 10 Educational Service Center in partnership with Communities Foundation of Texas, Educate Texas, and local STEM professionals, celebrates schools demonstrating excellence in STEM education.
CMS North was recognized as a leader among suburban schools for its innovative approaches to STEM teaching and learning. The funds will be used to further enhance STEM opportunities for students, fostering creativity, problem-solving skills and a passion for technology and science.
A recent example of STEM at CMS North is when 7th grade science students created Solar S’mores to learn about the three different types of thermal energy transfer — convection, conduction and radiation. Read more at go.coppellisd.com/NorthSTEM.

Celebrating White Cane Day Oct. 15 — My name is Daniel Jimenez. I am a sophomore at Coppell High School, and I was born with albinism, a visual impairment. This Sunday, Oct. 15, we celebrate White Cane Day, a day to commemorate the independence of people with visual impairments. The white cane was a device made for blind people for mobility purposes, to help blind people with movement and environmental awareness. Over time, as more people started using the white cane, White Cane Day was established by Lyndon B. Johnson. So, this Sunday, I am taking the day to celebrate White Cane Day. Living with a visual impairment has been difficult, and I’ve had my trials and struggles over the years, but being here in Coppell ISD has helped me learn and experience how to thrive and achieve my goals even with a visual impairment. If you’re wondering how you can help create a safer space for visually impaired individuals, here is a good tip. If you see a person with a cane, especially on the sidewalk, giving them a little more space can make it easier for them to check their surroundings. #CISDStudentMade by Daniel Jimenez #CISDMissionPossible
Learners taking the lead — Today, at Lakeside (5th Grade), Richard J. Lee, Mockingbird, Valley Ranch, and Wilson (a mix of both learner-led and parent-teacher conferences) Elementary Schools, learners took the reins in learner-led parent-teacher conferences. Students shared their academic accomplishments and progress, as well as the areas in which they want to grow. By leading the way, these students, along with teachers and parents, are making our CISD mission of creating profound learning experiences for every child possible. #CISDMissionPossible
