Summary
Trustees recognized Wreaths Across America volunteers Bob and Lynette Mead, named students of the month and awarded community partners and teachers for service and contest wins during public recognitions.
At its Dec. 17 meeting, the Laredo ISD Board of Trustees held a series of recognitions honoring community volunteers, students and staff.
The board highlighted the local start of Wreaths Across America in Laredo and recognized Bob and Lynette Mead for bringing the program to the city. Lynette Mead described starting the Laredo chapter in 2022 after the death of Marine David Lee Espinosa and encouraged community participation: "Once you experience it, you always wanna come back," she said, describing the ceremony's emotional impact.
The board also thanked donors and partners including John and Anna Gallo, Alberto Torres and local ranchers who provided holiday meals; recognized athletic teams and individual student achievements (e.g., Tanya Alvarado won first place in the 2025 LISD holiday greeting card contest; Crystal Perusquia won reserve champion at the San Antonio Western Art Show); and acknowledged teacher awards and student-of-the-month honorees. The board presented tokens of appreciation and photographs during the ceremony.
These recognitions occupied the opening portion of the meeting and highlighted community engagement and partnership with the district.
