Zavala Elementary School -

It’s #NationalPoliceWeek, and we are proud to celebrate our very own! 👮‍♀️🦅👮‍♂️

When you see our officers or any law enforcement personnel, be sure to thank them for their service — this week and every week.

Thank you for protecting our students, staff, and schools at PBTISD. We appreciate all you do! 💜🤍💛

🥪☀️🍎 Summer meals are getting an upgrade at PBTISD!

This summer, PBTISD plans to offer FREE 4-day and 3-day meal kits for ALL children ages 0–18 — and everything pictured is included in ONE meal kit for ONE child. That's right, families will receive a meal kit for EACH child in the household! 🦅

Meal kits will include breakfast, lunch, snacks, fresh produce, cold items, and frozen items intended to be prepared and eaten at home.

🗓️ Distribution begins May 28, then every Monday & Thursday until July.
📝 Registration is required so we can prepare enough meals for each location.
