For the second year in a row, the Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD will be celebrating the national College Colors Day campaign. College Colors Day seeks to celebrate and promote the traditions and spirit that make the college experience great by encouraging fans, alumni and students to wear apparel of their favorite college throughout the day on Friday, September 3, 2010.
According to CollegeColorsDay.com, “College Colors Day coincides with back-to-school and the kick-off of intercollegiate athletics, and strives to promote higher education through increased public awareness and celebrates the achievements of colleges and universities, acknowledging their critical and fundamental importance to the United States.”
We support College Colors Day because we want to:
Foster a college going culture among our students and set the expectation that all students have access to the many opportunities that college can provide.
Introduce students, at a young age, to the benefits of post-secondary education.
Encourage staff to discuss with their students the benefits they have experienced due to being a college graduate.
Show the diversity of colleges represented by our staff and introduce students to colleges they may have never heard of.
Support education at all levels, not just K-12.
Give students and staff a day to show their college spirit and provide an opportunity for them to connect with others they previously might not have had a connection to.
Show that a little friendly competition never hurt anyone when you have a vested interest in something…it’s the perfect day to see Horn fans and Aggie fans bicker.
With that said, will you be supporting College Colors Day with us? What college are you going to support?
