💙🏴‍☠️ There were plenty of smiles, hugs, and high-fives at Dr. Alejo Salinas Jr. Elementary this morning as our Hidalgo Pirate Varsity Football Team helped welcome students during drop-off.

For many of our Junior Pirates, seeing the Varsity players was the highlight of their day. The joy and excitement they brought to campus served as a powerful reminder of the positive impact our student-athletes have on the children who look up to them.

Thank you to our Varsity Pirates for taking the time to encourage, inspire, and brighten the morning for our youngest students. The bonds being built today are helping shape the leaders of tomorrow.

A special thank you to our coaches for fostering a culture of leadership, service, and character, and for guiding these young men to be positive role models both on and off the field.

💙🏴‍☠️ Pirate Pride starts early and lasts a lifetime. Together, we are building a stronger Pirate family, one smile at a time.

Some of the most important moments happen off the field. 🏴‍☠️💙💛

Our Superintendent, Dr. J. A. Gonzalez, spent time with our Pirate football team sharing a message about SSMES—Self-Awareness, Self-Regulation, Motivation, Empathy, and Social Skills.

These skills are so important for our young men as they learn to understand themselves, manage their emotions, stay motivated through challenges, show empathy toward others, and build strong relationships. These are lessons that go far beyond football and help shape the young men and future leaders they are becoming.

The boys loved having him there, and the evening ended the best way possible—with Pasta Night and time together as a Pirate family. 🍝🏈

A heartfelt thank you to our coaches and our amazing football moms who continue to give their time, love, and support to make moments like these possible for our boys.

It takes a village to build strong young men—and we are grateful for ours. 💙💛

What a beautiful moment at Dr. Alejo Salinas Jr. Elementary as students and staff came together to celebrate one of our very own cancer survivors, Pedro. His strength, courage, and incredible smile are an inspiration to us all.

Hidalgo ISD is proud to stand with Pedro and his family as we celebrate his journey and remind him that his Pirate family is always cheering him on! 💛🔔

Keep shining, Pedro! We are so proud of you! ✨

Great things happen when we work and grow together! ✨
