April Calendar/Newsletter




L. J. Christen Middle School is proud to recognize these amazing educators as recipients of the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA). Their hard work, dedication, and commitment to their students truly make a difference every day. We’re lucky to have them and grateful for the impact they make in our classrooms!

We are proud to recognize our 8th Grade Career & Technical Education (CTE) business students at Christen Middle School for their outstanding participation in the nationwide Intuit Hour of Finance™ Challenge during Financial Literacy Month!
Our campus was notified that our students earned Momentum Tier status, a distinction awarded to schools that are helping strengthen financial literacy and inspire learners across the country. This recognition reflects the dedication, curiosity, and commitment our students showed as they explored real‑world personal finance skills.
As part of this achievement, Christen Middle School will receive a celebratory banner for our hallways along with additional support materials provided through the program. Our educator will also receive an official Credly badge acknowledging this accomplishment.
Most importantly, our students gained valuable knowledge that will help them build financial confidence for the future. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and the enthusiasm they brought to this challenge.
Congratulations to our 8th Grade Career & Technical Education (CTE) business class for representing Christen Middle School and Laredo ISD with excellence and embracing learning that prepares them for life beyond the classroom.
Best Regards,
Karla Macias
