College Week Coloring Contest Winners College may seem very far off in the future for elementary school students, but it is critical for parents, teacher and staff to start conversations about college early so that students can begin to learn why higher education is an important part of their future. Richardson Elementary recently had college week at their campus. Teachers and staff discussed different colleges in the area and their mascots. All the students and staff wore their favorite college t-shirt. The week was wrapped up with a college jersey coloring contest. The colored jerseys were displayed in the student hallway for all to see. Certificates and Sonic gift cards were awarded to the top boy and girl winner of the coloring contest. “College Week gives students a chance to think about becoming their best selves and making their dreams a reality,” said Kendra Cantrell, Communities in Schools Site Coordinator. “It is an honor to organize college week and seeing our students get excited about college.”
