Dress Exchange
Hey ladies, do you have a lonely dress taking up space in your closet? Don't let that dress go to waste! Bring it to the Dress Exchange!
Green Team is collecting any and all dresses of dress-ups past. If you have a dress you no longer want, say, from previous proms, homecomings, or banquets, then bring it by Ms. Keo's room, K-204, so we can find it a new home! Likewise, if you're looking for a dress for prom or banquet, but you don't want to drop the money on yet another dress, come shopping in K204!
Texas A & M will be holding “Aggieland Saturday” on February 13, 2016
The program is free! Transportation and meals will be provided to and from campus courtesy our DFW PSC in Arlington. The bus will depart at 6am from our DFW PSC located at 3900 Arlington Highlands Boulevard, suite 273, Arlington, TX 76018 and return at 9pm.
Eligibility: High School Junior in the Top 10% of their class. SAT/ACT test scores are preferred but not required.
