Dear Grulla Middle School Parents, we kindly invite you to attend our upcoming Title I meetings. Your involvement and support play an important role in our studentsā success.

October 16th is recognized naturally as Boss's Day, a time when leaders are often celebrated with gifts.
But this year, Rio Grande City Grulla ISD Superintendent Garza is starting a new tradition ā one focused not on receiving, but on giving back.
"My hope is that we can all come together ā regardless of our differing views ā for one purpose: our kids," Superintendent Garza said. "I feel blessed to already have more than I need. What matters most to me is making sure our students feel that same sense of care and comfort."
The initiative, called Warm Hearts for Kids, will collect jackets, blankets, gloves, and other winter essentials to ensure every student in RCIS can face the colder months wrapped in warmth and love.
"This tradition is about reminding ourselves that leadership is service. On Boss's Day, our boss gives back," Superintendent Garza added.
