Emiliano Zapata Elementary School

Happy Nurses Week from Zapata Elementary! 💙🩺 We are proud to celebrate Nurses Week and honor the incredible care and dedication our school nurse provides every day. Thank you for all you do to keep our students healthy, safe, and supported! #nurseweek #lajoyaisd #zapataelementary

As Zapata Elementary prepares to close its doors, our Character Kids, under the guidance of school counselor Mrs. Polito and with the support of principal Mrs. Salinas, librarian Mrs. Lumbreras, music teacher Mr. Pepito, parent liaison Mrs. Gonzalez, and dedicated community members, came together for the planting of a tree as a lasting legacy of our school. During the ceremony, students Camyla Briceno, Sebastian Lumbreras, Valentina Gonzalez, Dilan Hernandez, and Daleisa Montelongo shared heartfelt words that reflected the pride, memories, and unity of our Zapata family. This meaningful act symbolizes the strong roots we’ve planted and the enduring spirit we’ll carry forward. 📸🌳 #ZapataLegacy #CharacterKids #CommunityStrong #lajoyaisd #ljisd @lajoyaisd

Zapata Elementary Presented *Finding Nemo Jr.* 🎭🐠 This past weekend, the talented Theater Arts students from Zapata Elementary, under the direction of our amazing music teacher Mr. Pepito, presented their final performance of *Finding Nemo Jr.* at the Alex Saenz Performance Center, at La Joya ISD. Friday's show was for our students, and Saturday’s performance welcomed parents, teachers, and community members for one last spectacular presentation before our school closes. The performance was truly magnificent—full of heart, talent, and community pride. To top it off, Mr. Pepito was surprised with a birthday cake on stage! 🎂🎶 We want to sincerely thank all the teachers, families, and community members who contributed to the success of this unforgettable event. Your support made a lasting impact. #zapataelementary, #lajoyaisd, #ljisd, @lajoyaisd
