[Eoscstudents] Mardi Gras Workshop/Party

[Sue Lovett]

Yesterday, Student Support Services held a Mardi Gras Workshop/Party.  We
had a really good one, and had several students in attendance.  The students
got to make their own MG masks, hear some interesting facts about MG from
the "Spirit of Mardi Gras", eat Kings Cake and listen to Zydeco music.
Taylor Burch won the prize for finding the coin in her slice of King's Cake.
She won a hat full of MG items and a $20.00 gift card.  Sam Harden won the
prize for the best mask, and Dustin Welch won the drawing for the Valentine
Basket.  All the students received beads, horns and masks.

 

I hope that students will take advantage of the social, cultural, and
educational events we offer at Student Support Services.  We try to make
them fun as well as educational.  It helps the students, and it helps us to
keep the program going.

 

Don't forget, Wednesday, February 20th is National TRiO Day and we will be
taking students to Oklahoma City to the Capitol to celebrate with the
legislators and TRiO programs throughout Oklahoma.  We would love to have as
many students as can arrange to go with us as possible.

 

We are also planning a trip to the Museum of Red River in Idabel on April 2.
More information for this trip will be sent via e-mail at a later date.

 

We are collecting items for the HUGS program for soldiers in the Middle
East, so everyone bring what you can.  We will box it up and take it with us
on TRiO Day.

 

Thank you to all who participated in the Mardi Gras event yesterday.  A
special thanks to Ms. Klocke for the information she gave us for the
workshop.
