Lois Owolabi Featured as Guest Performer at UIL Conference

Lois Owolabi, UIL Poetry Interpretation student, was invited to perform her new literary selections at this year’s UIL Student Activities Conference which took place at The University of Texas at Austin. This honor is only bestowed on students who have won a place as a state medalist the previous year.  As a state medalist, Lois received her invitation in July and gladly accepted.  Along with this prestigious honor, comes great work and responsibility because the performer has to select, organize, practice, and perform a brand new selection—this is even more difficult since UIL has changed its categories for this year.

Lois performed for an audience filled with prose and poetry judges, coaches, and students from around the state of Texas.  She performed a selection which focused on the tragedy of cancer but highlighted the courageousness and heroism of its victims.  This was an appropriate theme since we are in the midst of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a point well-made by Lois in her introduction and selections of poetry, and incorporated song lyrics.

Congratulations to Lois on her wonderful and notable accomplishment.  She continues to bring honor and pride to our school and community with her talent, leadership, and dedication.  Keep up the good work.

If you would like to learn more about our wonderful Wildcat UIL program, students, and academic coaches, please email rescamilla@cscisd.net or call 830-876-9393 Ext. 4109.  You will learn more about how our Wildcats are using their knowledge and talents to extend their academic skills and apply them outside the classroom and achieve academic excellence through competition.  AWESOME WILDCAT BRAIN POWER!

Debaters Organize Files for Competition

The Wildcat UIL debaters, under the direction of  team captain Lois Owolabi, organize their files in order to get ready for competition.  They sift through a great deal of information in order to organize evidence for their cases.  Keep up the good work, team!  "It's so great to see that these young people are so self-directed and self-disciplined to practice and focus on their own," commented Mr. Escamilla, UIL Director.

Dayden Allen, Victor Doria, and Lois Owolabi
