College Fair Presented by the 7th & 8th Grade Classes

By Susie Rogers, ELA 5th-8th Grades

After weeks of researching, contacting the respective schools, and creating eye-catching tri-folds, the 7th and 8th-grade students were ready to host their first college fair. Sixteen schools were represented: the University of Texas, University of North Texas, LSU, Yale, Purdue, UPenn, University of Alabama, Cornell, Sewanee, Rice, Parsons, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, SMU, SAU, and Vanderbilt. The students researched the history, the degrees offered, the student body size, the tuition, the requirements, fun facts, etc. Each student presented his or her findings to attendees as they traveled to each college booth. Thank you to Mrs. Ayres for videoing the presentations during the fair.
