Does roasting marshmallows and sleeping under the star's interest you?

 

Several Piney Point Panthers joined Coach Ryan camping in Galveston for the weekend in September.

 

Piney Point and Coach Ryan have partnered up with Texas Outdoor Family.

 

Texas Outdoor Family Program is a program with Texas Wildlife Rangers and the state parks to take families out for a new kind of experience that some might ever get the chance to experience.  The state parks are about a hour to a hour and a half from school.

 

In September, families packed up their cars and drove about an hour to camp at Galveston State Park.

 

Texas Outdoor Family (TOF) provides tents and stoves for camping. All you need to bring is clothes, bedding, and food. TOF also helps you set up your campsite.

 

On this camping trip, the families were able to experience several different activities on the beach, learn how to fish and kayak.

 

They ended the day by roasting marshmallows around the campfire and enjoying the outdoors with family and friends.

 

If you would go camping with Piney Point and TOF, please contact Coach Ryan for more information.

The Panthers celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month by observing a Mariachi Son de Mi Tierra.

 

The experience was magical with the band's distinctive sound. The five-member band with the trumpets, violin, guitar, and guitarrón energizes their audience. When the singer started to sing, goosebumps lit up the arms and, aahs went about the students. Teachers were dancing the native jarabe Tapatío. The students were singing and were moving in their seats to the music.

 

Thank you to the PTA, Ms. Pena-Martinez, and Ms. E. Keahey for organizing this wonderful cultural experience for the teachers and students.

Did you know around 149 years ago a woman named Susan B. Anthony was arrested for voting? She was fighting for the right for a woman to vote.

 

 

In 1888, she led the National American Women’s Suffrage Association. She traveled around the country giving speeches, collecting thousands of signatures on petitions, and lobbying Congress every year for women.

 

This month we will have guest speakers talking about more influential women. 

 

The women before us made it possible so we can do what we can do today. These woman fought for equal rights and opportunities to create more freedom for women.
