Red Ribbon Week!!
We decided to have a little fun and support Red Ribbon Week using Mr. Mackey from South Park. Each grade had a "Mr. Mackey" board. I think we enjoyed it more than the students.
Word Walls!!
We wanted to promote college during "Education! Go Get It!" Week. We loosely defined college as any and all post-secondary options: 2-year college/university, 4-year college/university, military, trade/technical school, workforce, etc. We had a financial aid word wall and a college word wall.
Marching Storm!!
Prairie View A&M's band, the Marching Storm, performed for our students before the State Fair Classic. We wanted to expose our students to college life, different types of schools and different types of bands.
Ugly Sweater Contest!!
I entered an ugly sweater contest...and WON!!!! I won Most Creative. My sweater had lights and an annoying chirping bird. My (counselor) coworker won Best Holiday Sweater.

NBCSL!!
We took a group of students to the National Black Caucus of State Legislators' Conference in Dallas. Rickey Smiley was the keynote speaker.
Lights Out!!
We had a power outage, but school must go on :) We were the welcoming committee and crowd control. We had a good time on our "porch."
I think I covered almost everything.
Until next time...
