BELTON — Maintaining local parks, stocking food pantries, greeting students on campuses and reading to elementary students are just a few of the ways Belton Independent School District student athletes gave back to the community last year.

During the 2025-26 school year, Belton ISD student athletes logged 2,760 hours of community service, according to a news release from the district.

"Community service is a cornerstone of our athletics program because it teaches our students that leadership extends beyond competition," said Sam Skidmore, Belton ISD director of athletics.

"We want our student-athletes to understand that they have a responsibility to give back to the community that supports them,” Skidmore said.

A premiere volunteer opportunity of the athletic program comes from a partnership with the city. Students help maintain and improve Chisholm Trail Park, according to the release.

Student athletes have participated in cleanups and beautification projects at the park over the last four years. Some of their efforts include collecting litter, shoveling sand and mulch, painting boulders and clearing brush on pathways leading to Sparta Elementary School.

The release stated park improvement efforts are meant to inspire the students to take responsibility for a public area they regularly use.

“Our athletes use Chisholm Trail Park regularly, so it makes sense for them to take pride in maintaining and improving it," stated coach Oscar Bersoza, who led student cleanup efforts at the park.

Park improvement efforts are just one area of volunteering by the students.

Throughout the year, teams volunteered with food pantries, participated in Christmas toy drives, supported community festivals and served on elementary campuses through youth camps, career days, morning greetings and classroom book readings, according to the release.

Belton High School teams also partner with the Texas Ramp Project to build free wheelchair ramps for elderly and disabled people throughout Central Texas.

"Our athletes get to see the direct impact of their hard work. The community supports us at games and events, so it's a privilege to give back," Bersoza stated.

🇺🇸 Freedom is one of America’s greatest gifts.

This Fourth of July, as we celebrate the freedoms we enjoy every day, it’s important to remember that for many Texans living with mobility challenges, something as simple as leaving their home can be difficult—or impossible.

At the Texas Ramp Project, we believe everyone deserves the freedom to safely enter and leave their home. Through the dedication of our volunteers and the generosity of our donors, we build wheelchair ramps that restore independence, dignity, and peace of mind.

A ramp is more than lumber and nails. It’s the freedom to visit family, attend church, see a doctor, shop for groceries, or simply enjoy a beautiful day outside.

This Independence Day, help us give the gift of freedom to Texans in need.

Happy Fourth of July from the Texas Ramp Project!

Crossroads Today – Victoria

Texas Ramp Project brings family more freedom through biggest build
Trenton Whiting - 25 News Now – June 9, 2026


VICTORIA, Texas - The Texas Ramp project completed its most ambitious build for a woman who was confined to her home for three months without the ability to freely leave.

Rosa Cuellar's complications with diabetes led to an amputation that forced her into a wheelchair. There are no other entrances to the home besides the front door

Her family and friends supported her by helping her get out of the house to attend appointments, go to the store, or do anything outside of the house.

Due to her loved ones' schedules, it wasn't a sustainable situation to allow her full freedom and autonomy.

The Victoria North Chapter of the Texas Ramp Project changed everything for Cuellar and her family, building a 70-foot ramp, their largest project.

Cuellar says the ramp was completed in just three hours, forever changing the accessibility to their home.

Justin Sandoval, Cuellar's son, says the ramp has given his mother complete access to the house with minimal support. He says they now can go to restaurants, appointments, and any other locations they desire without needing multiple people to assist.

The Texas Ramp Project received support from several veterans and volunteers. The crew is always accepting new volunteers; those interested can contact Mark Kortokrax at 361-799-9098.
