13 - Little Bulldogs, Big Hearts: PreK - 5th Student Spotlight!

This week on the Bulldog Pride Podcast, we're hearing directly from the students! Host Amanda Rollert and Elementary Principal Ms. Guilbeau sit down with one representative from each grade (Pre-K through 5th) to hear what makes being an Iola Bulldog so special.Meet our student panel: Pre-K student - Ramsey Gillis, Kindergartner - Cameron Jolly, 1st grader - Rhys Abbott, 2nd grader - Josiah Smith, 3rd grader - Everly Jackson, 4th grader - Eve Hurst, and 5th grader - Kolman Barksdale.These young Bulldogs share what they love about Iola. They reveal their favorite subjects (spoiler: lots of mathematicians in this group!), what they're learning in class—from telling time and shapes to volume and rectangular prisms—and how their teachers make learning fun.The conversation gets personal as students share favorite foods (asparagus was a surprise!), what they play at recess (football, kickball, freeze tag, and monkey bars), and special talents like rodeo goat tying and UIL competitions in oral reading, writing, and chess strategy.Students also share how they help keep their school clean and safe: picking up trash, bringing reusable water bottles, setting good examples, and helping friends up when they fall. Their special memories from this year include field trips to the Waco Zoo and Texas A&M basketball games, the Color Run with teachers and Officer Montgomery throwing colors, and Friday game days in class.From Pre-K to 5th, these students show what Bulldog Pride looks like at every age. 🐾❤️Learn more about Iola ISD on their website HEREFollow Iola ISD on Facebook HEREGot a tip, tale, or shoutout?
