GenTX Week Kick Off (Instagram/Vine Challenge)
We will start the week off with campus-based celebrations, college presentations, and special guests to address the value of a post secondary education. We would like every school to have a dedicated activity addressing the topic. This day will also mark the beginning of a weeklong Instagram/Vine competition between the schools.
We will use the hashtag #GPCollegeReady to mark all photos and video submitted by the schools throughout the GenTX week. Our goal to go bigger and be bolder in our support our students post secondary readiness and success. We will announce a winner at the Elementary, Middle, and High School level.
