Mix It Up at Lunch 2017

Mix It Up at Lunch was another huge success with the students at William Wood Elementary and Guadalupe Elementary. The purpose of Mix It Up at Lunch is to foster relationships throughout grade levels and build connections with a purpose to prevent bullying. Every opportunity to prevent bullying and build relationships among the students help our schools become a safer place for all students. Another added bonus this year to our event was the college awareness aspect. As the students entered the cafeteria, they were given an admission ticket to a college. Each table was decorated with college swags indicating their "college/university". At the elementary age it is important to bring awareness of higher education. Mix It Up at Lunch was a perfect event for this opportunity. Parents and members from William Wood Elementary Student Council helped the students initiate conversations and make introductions. Guadalupe Elementary top role models from Victoria East High School and the GES Student Council helped facilitate the discussion during Mix It Up at lunch. Students were engaged and made new friendships that will help build our school community.
