Earlier this week, I joined UT Athletic Directors DeLoss Dodds and Chris Plonsky to formally announce an exciting new initiative created in partnership with UT and AISD.
The initiative is designed to recognize our staff members for excellence in attendance, and to foster and promote healthy living for all AISD team members—whether through offering discounted exercise programs, suggesting healthy eating tips or just creating a support network that encourages good health.
Our local media was out in full force and asked great questions about the new program we created based on your recommendation that we increase opportunities to reward excellence across the district. And, Coach Mack Brown surprised me, stopping by to congratulate us!
But the real fun is happening tonight, Sept. 14, during the program’s kickoff celebration at Mike A. Myers Stadium and Soccer Field, where the Texas Longhorns Women’s Soccer team will take on Fresno State!
All AISD team members and their families are invited to join us, enjoy a great game and celebrate this exciting new program!
To attend, simply redeem your sports voucher at www.texassports.com. If you haven’t already received your voucher to attend the event, please call the Office of Educator Quality at 414-9834.
Tonight’s game will be the first of many opportunities for AISD staff members and their families to celebrate the new program.
Every month, AISD employees will receive sports vouchers for perfect attendance and for meeting campus student attendance targets. Each voucher is good for two tickets. Among the highlights, UT will provide:
We already have made great strides during the past year to create a healthier culture within AISD—both physically and mentally—and we will continue to build on those efforts through this new program.
I hope to see you tonight! And to borrow a line from our partners, "Be Healthy. Be Here. Be Hooked!"![]()
