Today, East Chambers ISD joins our nation in remembering the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honoring the courage of the first responders and everyday heroes who stepped forward, and recognizing the families forever changed by that day.
May we continue to teach future generations the importance of courage, unity, service, and remembrance. We will never forget.

🦴✨ Learning comes to life in First Grade! ✨🦴
Our first graders welcomed a very special new classmate —a real skeleton! As they learn all about the human body, our students are getting the opportunity to read, write, observe, and learn firsthand about the bones that make up our bodies.
There’s nothing better than making learning real, meaningful, and memorable! 💚💛🦴

💚💛 GREEN & GOLD GREAT 💛💚
Hank recently received a Buccaneer Challenge Coin from Mr. McGhee in recognition of his kindness and character. While attending the rodeo, Hank noticed a woman using a wheelchair who needed help getting where she was going—and he stepped up without hesitation.
Hank has a heart of gold, wonderful manners and a fun-loving spirit! He is an all-around great kid who represents what it means to be a Buccaneer. We are proud of you, Hank—and great job, Mom and Dad! 🏴☠️

🧠🫀 Anatomy Comes to Life at ECHS! 🫁🦴
Students in Mrs. Devillier’s class at East Chambers High School have been putting their anatomy knowledge into action with some creative, hands-on learning!
🖍️ Human Body Systems: Students used markers — and their existing knowledge of anatomy — to illustrate the different systems of the human body, bringing what they’ve learned to life through their own designs.
🐻 Gummy Bear Lab: Who knew gummy bears could help teach anatomy? Students used them to practice anatomical positions and directional terms, turning important vocabulary into a fun, memorable learning experience.
These activities are a great example of learning that goes beyond notes and textbooks — giving students a chance to apply what they know, make connections, and have a little fun along the way.
Great things are happening in our ECHS classrooms! 💚💛🏴☠️
