In a decision taken and unanimously approved at Tuesday night's meeting of the Eagle Pass Independent School District Board of Trustees, the name of the EPISD Sports Complex Football Stadium will aptly carry the combined names of legendary Eagle Pass High School football coach Cozel Foster and a name which appropriately honors the steadfast dedication exemplified by our fighting forces around the world as well as those who have dedicated and even given their lives to insure the freedom which we all live in this, the greatest country on Earth, our US Veterans.
The name of the stadium in which the Eagle Pass Eagles and the CC Winn Mavericks do battle in week in and week out will be called Foster Veterans Memorial Stadium.

When the terror of what took place at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut was being aired on every news source in America, parents shuddered to even think that a situation such as this could happen in a community such as Eagle Pass.
After all, the 20 children who were shot and killed by the deranged killer who entered the school and began opening fire with high-powered assault weapons were dropped off that day by their parents expecting nothing more than to innocently get the education they are supposed to receive on a daily basis each day, not to die by the hand of a gunman who has no business on campus.
Representatives from Nellie Mae Glass Elementary were on hand earlier this week to personally receive a check for $800.00 from McDonald's represented by Angie Elizondo General Manager of the McDonalds on Main Street. Rosa Castillon, Principal of Glass Elem. along with Literacy Specialist Ariana Celedon and Counselor Maria Soto were happy to accept the monies that were raised during McDonald's Teacher Night earlier this school year. The event is a fun way for schools to raise much needed funds by working at the restaurant and receiving a percentage of the sales for that day.
