Yearbook Deadline - Updated Standings

Hello Mustangs!

 So, now that most of you are probably breathing a HUGE sigh of relief (due to state testing being over with for now), we just wanted to brighten your days with some new updates and awareness! 

 1) If you have not bought your yearbooks yet, DO SO ASAP! Today and tomorrow are the LAST days to get the book at $33! After this, prices do increase, so please take advantage of this if you are able to!! If you have questions please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Brandy Fyffe and/or Ms. Lauren Groeschel. 

 2) If you have not submitted yearbook pictures yet (general photos: deadline is June 30th -- portraits: May 15th) than please do so!! If you need help or guidance as far as what to submit or how to, please review our past posts and the recording we made as far as how to work replayit.com for uploading pictures. https://sas.elluminate.com/site/external/launch/nativeplayback.jnlp?sid=559&psid=2012-11-06.1117.M.3A65C2C4C95438BB886B2C23E7D919.vcr

3) If you haven't bought prom tickets yet, I suggest you do being that Prom is only 5 days away people! PLUS be apart of the historical moment and see all the fun memories from that night in the yearbook! Don't miss out! 

 4) Haven't completed polls or surveys to see your awesome responses and your friends in the yearbook? have no fear, the polls are here!


Student Surveys: (note that each one takes less than 5 minutes!)

Teachers and Staff: (note that it only takes less than 5 minutes!)


If you are a senior/TXVA faculty you are eligable to complete these as well:
Students:

Faculty:
http://surveys.yearbookavenue.jostens.com/surveys/1118478/senior-year/


5) The moment you've all been waiting for....are you ready? Okay, well ready or not, here is the current updated stats as far as our yearbook competition:

 1st place - 12th Grade (remains in the lead!!)
2nd place - 11th Grade (catching close to the Seniors!)
3rd place - 10th Grade (you guys better push up the competition! Freshmen are right behind you!)
4th place - 9th Grade (only one book short for being tied with 10th grade and only 2 books short of being in 3rd place!)

 So whats the conclusion after all of this? Buy your books, submit your pictures, buy your prom tickets, submit the polls, and continue to pass along the word if you want to win the prize and get YOUR grade up to first place! Schools not done yet, everyone. So lets keep up that TXVA School Spirit! =)

 Always,

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.....
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.
--Kenn Nesbitt

Okay, so we obviously know you didn't have to learn Latin, or April fool's...LOL. 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,
TXVA Yearbook Staff

Its now open to all grade levels (9th and 10th grade need to be passing in order to attend). However, many of you also know that BOTH prom and graduation will be in the book this year! YAY!

Student Surveys: (note that each one takes less than 5 minutes!)

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,
The TXVA Yearbook Staff
