LARGE TURNOUT AT WELCOME TO PRIDELAND EVENT

  

A large crowd of parents and students turned out Monday for the first Welcome to Prideland event at Brenham High School.

Nearly every sport, club, and course was represented at tables and booths setup in the gym, cafeteria and hallways.

Incoming students for next fall were able to learn about all the activities that are available to them at the High School.

BISD Librarian Sharon Logan, a member of the Campus Improvements Committee, says the committee wanted to come up with a way to encourage students to choose being an involved part of the High School…especially incoming freshmen…

Logan, appearing on this week’s edition of KWHI’s BISD Roundtable, says many of the groups and organizations gave away door prizes and gave the students and parents vital information.

Logan said the parents were most impressed with the first-hand look at what’s available at the high school…

Logan says BISD officials had no idea there would be, what she called, and “awesome turnout.”  Student registration slips show 389 students attended – with nearly half of those incoming freshman.  That number also does not include parents and siblings who attended, as well.

The BISD Round Table can be heard in its entirety, Thursday morning at 9:05 on KWHI and www.kwhi.com.
