Hello Akin Parents!
Just a few reminders of event dates coming up:
Wednesday, February 6th Wylie Way Day "Journey to the Mountaintop", in addition to some other activities. The focus is on GOALS; how we may have struggles, we make mistakes, and we come to road blocks when working to reach goals, but we can do it with a positive attitude, perseverance and grit. Everyone's "Journey to the Mountaintop" is different. Our Goal is to expose your students to conversations and experiences that instill motivation and desire to succeed, not only when all is well and good, but also when things get tough. All of our Akin Family will be wearing their navy blue "Level Up" t-shirts on this day.
College Week is coming up, March 4th-8th. We have fun activities planned for the week, along with the dress-up days. Please note these on the below flyer. I also have an activity that involves current college students. If you have a college student that might be interested in a fun, easy project that only requires a few selfies with a paper form of our mascot Hopper, please let me know. My number is 972-429-3409 or you may email Tierney.leeper@wylieisd.net. Lastly, each student will be making a college pennant to be hung in the entry. Project directions will be included. Hopefully this will be a great family experience as you decorate the pennant in favorite college colors and bling.
