Unite for Uvalde: San Antonio-area students to show support on Uvalde’s first day of school

SAN ANTONIO – Students in San Antonio-area school districts will wear maroon on Tuesday to show their support for the Uvalde community at the start of their school year.

Uvalde CISD students are set to return to the classroom on Sept. 6, just over three months since the Robb Elementary School tragedy that claimed 21 lives.

Though the Uvalde community is still healing and fear and grief surround the start of the new school year, San Antonio schools are looking to provide morale support.

“Let’s all wear maroon to show that our hearts are with the Uvalde community,” Medina Valley ISD said.

These are the San Antonio-area school districts participating so far. More districts may be added to this list later on:

• South San Antonio ISD
• Northside ISD
• Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD
• Judson ISD
• Education Service Center, Region 20
• Abilene ISD
• Harlandale ISD
• Medina Valley ISD
• Southwest ISD
• Edgewood ISD
• Marion ISD

On Friday, Sept. 2, Uvalde High School football has its first home game against Winn of Eagle Pass.

It’s a game that holds powerful meaning for the Uvalde community and to the entire nation who witnessed the horrible events in May.

The match will be held at 7 p.m. at Honey Bowl Stadium. You can watch it live here.

Also on KSAT:

• KSAT to stream Uvalde’s first home football game of season Friday at 7 p.m.
• Houston Texans gift new uniforms, equipment to Uvalde HS before Friday’s first home game
