Our third graders enjoyed playing a board game while reviewing their prefixes and strengthening their vocabulary skills.

Socktober is here!!
Sock it to bullying and help our community!
This October, Red Lick Elementary is combining bullying prevention month with a special community service project!
We are asking our students and families to help us "Sock it to Bullying" by donating NEW socks to help individuals in need in our community.
How can you help?
Send NEW, unused socks to school during the month of October. All socks collected will be donated to the Randy Sams Shelter at the end of month.
Why Socks??
Socks are one of the most needed items at homeless shelters. This is a simple way for our students to practice kindness, compassion, and respect while making a difference right here in our community.
LET’S SOCK IT TO BULLYING
Be Kind * Show Respect * Help Others * Make a Difference
Donations accepted: October 6, 2026
Drop-Off Location: Send to school with your Elementary child or drop off in front office
Together, let’s see how many pairs of socks RLES can collect!!

Mrs. Fugitt’s fifth graders turned a simple deck of UNO cards into a hands-on learning experience! Students created and solved three-digit by two-digit multiplication problems while working with partners to share strategies, explain their thinking, and support one another.
More than just multiplication practice, this activity was all about building problem-solving skills, confidence, and collaboration! Real learning happens when students think, work, and grow together!
It has been an action-packed two weeks in our Principles of Information Technology class! 💻⚡
Last Thursday, after diving deep into computer systems and Local Area Networks (LANs), our students got to see IT in action. Huge thanks to Mr. Matt, our District Director of Technology, for taking the class on an exclusive tour of our district server rooms and campus network switches! Seeing the hardware that keeps our school connected brought our classroom lessons to life in a whole new way. 🌐⚙️
The excitement didn't stop there. Tuesday, the class had a virtual meeting with Scott Ford, the creator of our IT curriculum! He laid down an incredible challenge for our students: not only to become the first group at Red Lick to earn their CompTIA Tech+ certifications, but—to his knowledge—the very first middle school class in all of Texas to pull it off! 🏆🚀 Our students are inspired, motivated, and ready to make history. Stay tuned as they rise to the challenge!
Last week, second grade students enjoyed exploring place value using place value disks. We can compose, compare, and order numbers up to 1,200! 💯
Red Lick Baseball Claims District Championship with Support from Texas A&M–Texarkana
Huge congratulations to our Red Lick Middle School Baseball team for bringing home the District Championship trophy on Monday! The winning momentum actually started last Thursday, October 1st, when the Texas A&M University–Texarkana baseball team paid our Mustangs a special visit! The Eagles spent time talking with our players about sportsmanship and the mental toughness it takes to succeed on and off the field. They wrapped up the afternoon in the best way possible by sharing pizza and facing off in a friendly game of wiffle ball!
Fast forward to championship game day on Monday, October 5th, and our friends from TAMUT took their support to the next level. The Eagles packed the stands, cheering loud as the Mustangs fought their way to victory! A massive THANK YOU to TAMUT Baseball for being incredible role models, and congratulations again to our District Champions! We are so proud of you, Mustangs! Check out the photos below from the meet-and-greet, wiffle ball fun, and Monday’s big championship win! #RedLickMustangs #DistrictChamps #TAMUTEagles #MustangPride #TheHerd
Thank you to our amazing custodians for keeping our schools clean, safe, welcoming, and ready for our Mustangs!
We appreciate all you do! 🐎💙

Our first graders are building their math skills through hands-on activities, teamwork, and lots of big smiles! 💙🤍 Every Mustang. Every Day.
Mr. Rankins’ 5th Grade Science students put Double Stuf and Mega Stuf Oreos to the test—and the results are in!
Through hands-on investigation and data analysis, students found that Double Stuf Oreos have about 2x the filling mass of a regular Oreo, while Mega Stuf has about 3x the filling mass!
Who knew Oreos could teach us so much? Our Mustangs are proving that science is everywhere. Smart cookies! 🧪🍪 theherd
Because each block contains its own microprocessor and pre-programmed software, students gain an intuitive understanding of inputs, processing, and outputs through real-time physical assembly.
Technology class was full of energy, sound, light, and motion as students brought their robotic systems to life!
Most said, “Ummm…NO THANK YOU!” 😂😂
We learned that olives were a big part of Ancient Greek life—and our 2nd graders definitely have BIG opinions about them!
