Welcome to Wildcatville: A City of Dreams! Laredo ISD, in partnership with IBC Bank, proudly celebrated the launch of "Wildcatville" Minitropolis at Dovalina Elementary! This innovative program takes learning to the next level by immersing students in a fully operational, simulated community where they can explore roles in government, business, and civic organizations.
From managing finances at the bank to delivering mail at the post office, students gain real-world experience while mastering life skills like financial literacy, teamwork, and leadership. It’s education like you’ve never seen before—engaging, empowering, and inspiring!
A special thanks to our incredible partners, community leaders, and LISD family for helping turn this vision into reality. Together, we’re shaping the future by giving our students the tools to succeed in school and beyond.
🎁 Spreading holiday cheer! McDonald's owner/operator Mike Marasco and Marketing Director Sabrina Teeters presented donations to five LISD schools—Santo Niño Elementary, Heights Elementary, Leyendecker Elementary, Ryan Elementary, and Macdonell Elementary!
