We are celebrating GenTX Week this week to help raise awareness of the value of a higher education and thus, help to promote a college-going culture among students and their families. Each day we will have a different theme.
Monday: "My future starts NOW!" Show your school pride by wearing your elementary school shirt.
Tuesday: "Show your true colors" Wear your favorite college school colors today
Wednesday: "College Shirt Day!" Where do you want to go to college? Wear your college shirt
Thursday: " I tip my hat to higher education" Wear your favorite college hat or cap to school
Friday: "Dress the part because you're smart" Dress up as what you want to be when you graduate from college
