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!!

Writing equations and memorizing formulas,
Going berserk while we pray for the hallelujahs.
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?
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?
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!
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!
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.
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.

and I know we will rejoice at the end, with all of our buddies.

A Yearbook Good Luck!
Hello Mustangs!
We know many of you are probably in the midst of studying those last cram sessions of TAKS and STAAR testing prep! So, on behalf of today, we just wanted to take a moment and say.....
We know many of you are probably in the midst of studying those last cram sessions of TAKS and STAAR testing prep! So, on behalf of today, we just wanted to take a moment and say.....
Preparing today for the standardized test
our teacher said there was a lot to digest.
We'd have to divide by the square root of three
and learn to spell zygote, façade and marquis.
We'd need to play xylophone, trumpet and flute,
accordion, banjo, piano and lute,
recite all the capital cities by heart
and learn to take rocketship engines apart.
We'd have to speak Latin, Swahili and Greek,
learn nuclear fusion and fencing technique,
remember the fables of Persia and Rome
and crack all the codes in the human genome.
Then just when we thought that our heads might explode
from learning Chinese or dissecting a toad
she told us the very best thing she could say:
that she was just kidding; it's April Fool's Day.

BUT we do know that you all will do awesome and we know this because Students at TXVA don't ever quit! =) We stand strong, and determined and we know that you guys will have wonderful success for these state tests! =) Our prayers, thoughts, and luck is with you all!
And remember: go celebrate by purchasing your yearbook/prom tickets/ and submitting pictures from state testing events! Show us just how successful you can be during these awesome times! =)
Having faith always in each of you,

Yearbook "Sneak Peek" Pt. 3 Revealed
Alright Mustangs!
Today is the day where all these riddles will FINALLY make some sense! =) But before we show you what they all meant, lets take a quick review of each one:
Riddle #1:
This page may lay between a couple of yearbook pages.
One that is made for not the youngest in the school,
but possibly those who may be graduating.
It contains thoughtful insights, and yet, hilarious outcomes.
However, can you guess just what or to whom it belongs?
Riddle #2:
I can describe your thoughts and directions, before one leaves.
I can guide your decisions, before you freak!
I can be quite helpful, if you only gave me the chance.
However, in the end, its all just for laughs.
Riddle #3:
I'm one who's filled with color,
I have arrows pointing every which way.
My directions may seem pointless now,
But in the end, I'll lead the way!
Make any sense yet? Well, if not, no worries! =) Here is the revealing for this week!
Until next time fellow Mustangs, the TXVA Yearbook Staff has once again saved the day and we wish you all, a very happy weekend and a glorious hooray! LOL =p
Until next week,
