Smithville ISD had a lot to celebrate this week as Smithville Elementary student Zelda Perez took center stage at the Hello World Student Demo Day, proudly showcasing the project she built within the Hello World platform!

Zelda's participation is the result of an exciting partnership formed back in October 2025, when SISD teamed up with Hello World and EdgeConneX to bring AI literacy opportunities directly to our students. That investment in our kids is already paying off — and Zelda is proof of what's possible when students are given the tools and encouragement to explore the world of technology.

Thanks to Zelda's family for allowing her participation, and Mrs. Sandy Kadlecek for her oversight and instruction!

Our PreK and Kindergarten classes had the unique opportunity to learn about incubating and hatching chicken eggs today! They set up their incubators and candled the eggs to see what they look like in the very beginning of the growth process. Over the next few weeks, the classes will follow the growth process of chickens, eventually ended in the hatching of baby chicks.

Thanks to the Bastrop County Ag Extension Agency for collaborating with us on this and sharing your knowledge with our students!
