Stronger Together: Partners Donate Laptops to Empower Raymondville ISD Students
This weekend, several Raymondville ISD students received brand-new laptops thanks to a powerful community partnership! With the support of State Senator Adam Hinojosa and State Representative Janie Lopez along with AT&T (Mario Barragán), Down by the Border (Sergio Zárate), Compudopt (Marie Arcos), our Bearkat students walked away with big smiles and even bigger opportunities.
Special Education Director Dr. Reynaldo Flores and Deputy Superintendent Raul Valdez proudly helped distribute the devices, alongside City of Raymondville Mayor Gilbert Gonzalez, who also shared words of encouragement. These laptops represent more than technology-they represent access, equity, and the bright future of our students. A huge thank you to all of our partners for investing in the success of Raymondville ISD!
