On Saturday, October 3, speed, concentration, and team spirit filled the Temple High School Gym as students from across the district gathered for the annual Temple ISD Sports Stacking Tournament! All eight Temple ISD elementary schools sent their top stackers in grades 3, 4, and 5 to compete in a variety of fast-paced, timed events.
Our Hector P. Garcia Gators represented our school with incredible enthusiasm, showcasing their skills in challenging events like the Cycle Stack, Combined Races, Doubles, and even a special Child/Parent Doubles event.
