Happy Summer!

Mustangs,

This is it! The moment where we all leave for vacation, celebrate our past experiences, and for some, move forward with our plans for the future. 

Whether you are coming back next year for another incredible time at TXVA or possibly have graduated with the first class of 2013, we can't help but say just how PROUD we are of all of you! You made it through all those tests, assignments and everything else that may have caused you stress and now you are able to reap the benefits in which you have sewed! CONGRATS!!!

Here is some last updates for you all, before you all go off for your awesome vacay's:

Yearbooks will be sent out sometime in August. HOWEVER, we are trying to make that to JULY being that we will be done with the book very soon. But we need your guys help in order to do that. =) And how? It's simple!

If you know someone or possibly have been/attended the Houston graduation, there was a photographer taking pictures of all the awesome seniors! In the diploma case each senior received  there may have been a card from that photographer with a link to access the pictures that he took. We want to be able and include not just the DFW and Online ceremonies, but the Houston one as well. However, we will not be able to do that without pictures or enough pictures to make up a page. *sniffle, sniffle*

So our last request from you awesome mustangs! If you please know that link, or possibly know someone who does, send a message to txvayearbook@gmail.com ASAP and help us all remember the Houston ceremony together. =) As it goes, it is one moment we never want to forget, and because of that, we want everyone to share it with the graduated seniors, too. 

We wish you all the best Summer and Futures ahead of you! See you next year!!

Final Exam Review Week - YEARBOOK SPECIAL SURPRISE

Hello Mustangs!

As many of you already know, this week is known as TXVA's Final Review Week / Senior Final's Week (A.K.A. the stress-fullest week of our entire year). So, on behalf of all you stressed out students, the yearbook staff wanted to send you some cheerio fun and to remind you to never forget to spend some time and take a moment to laugh. =) 

Final Review Week
by TXVA Yearbook

Finals are here, and we know what that means,
We study and stress until we start to turn green.
Writing equations and memorizing formulas,
Going berserk while we pray for the hallelujahs.

Teachers are grading during the midst of the night,
while students are studying and becoming a frightful sight.
Can we help it if our eyes have turn red?
If our hair has become wild, and our minds suddenly widespread?

Widespread with all knowledge from last year until now,
What can they expect from us, when we all start to growl?
We don't like this stress, or this unexpected struggle,
To turn in our work as fast as a popped bubble.

But now there is no choice, monster-student and all,
we must carry forward, we must prevail through this hull! 
For I know you can do it, we have done it before,
All our teachers are cheering as we race for miraculous scores!

So bring in some coffee, some tea and some snacks,
turn into that monster-student, even if it means biting back.
Because we students, can never fail our studies,
for we have finally made it this far,
and I know we will rejoice at the end, with all of our buddies.

THE END.

We know you guys can do this, and we are cheering for all of you! Don't forget to tell your parents that with all your hard work, to help purchase one of TXVA's awesome yearbook as a congrats gift for the end of the year! =) Only 23 books remains!! Get your copy today while you can! 

Holding faith in you all always,
The TXVA Yearbook Staff
