Recently, Crockett’s Red Dogs Team went on a class field trip to the Dallas Arboretum, the public gardens located next to White Rock Lake in East Dallas. The Arboretum was in the midst of their annual Fall Blooms show, with special displays and activities to celebrate the season. The Red Dogs Team was also able to participate in several outdoor science activities. Two Bulldog Bulletin staff members, Mauricio Alfaro and Javier Castro, were along on the trip and filed this exclusive report:

The Arboretum was a blast! We did tons of fun activities such as looking for insects in the soil, and making bracelets according to the plant cycle. We also saw a video of the plant cycle, and took time for a short adventure around the Arboretum. Some team members went inside Cinderella’s house, made all of pumpkins! We also rolled down a big hill next to the lake, which was fun.
After our morning sessions, we went to the picnic area and had lunch, which was very tasty! It was a bit windy, but being with our friends cheered us up. After lunch was done, we went to the Arboretum gift shop, and bought some awesome stuff! At last, we headed to the bus, and back to school we went. It had been a great day!

With Salute to Nerds, Crockett 5GC Celebrates College and Career Week

It was a day for horn-rimmed glasses and pocket protectors at Crockett 5GC on Tuesday as Crockett students and teachers (Is that you, Ms. Beckham?)celebrated College and Career Week with the first annual “Nerds Day, Going to College is a Smart Idea.” It’s all part of a fun week for Crockett Bulldogs, as they mark the importance of getting a college degree. It’s estimated that people who graduate from a college or university will make over a million dollars more over the course of their careers than people without, so Crocket students want to make sure their goals include a college degree. In the meantime, everyone was having fun being a “nerd” for a day!

Crockett Student Wins School Lunch Bike Raffle!

Extra! Extra! Free bike at Crockett! That was the news last week, as Crockett Green Team member Shi’Anne Gilaspie was the lucky winner of a free bike in Crockett’s School Lunch Bike Raffle. The second week of October is National School Lunch Week, and to mark the occasion, a bike raffle was held for Crockett students who have shown respect to others and exemplified good character in the first nine weeks of school. To be entered into the raffle, students must not have received an office referral, and they must have purchased a school lunch each day of the week.
Bulldog Bulletin Staff Writer Colton Mathews was there when Shi’Anne’s name was announced, and he filed this exclusive report and interview with the winner:
“On Friday Oct. 14th, the winner was announced. Her name was Shi’Anne Gilaspie. When I heard about the winner, I rushed down to the office. When I got there, everyone was there to see. As I was doing my interview, there were two classes at the door, and they were giving her thumbs up, and saying, ‘Good job!’ I was able to ask Shi’Anne some quick questions:
Bulldog Bulletin: How do you feel?
Shi’Anne: I’m Ok, but I’m nervous and surprised at the same time.
BB: How are you going to get your bike home?
Shi’Anne: I’m going to call my mom and ask her to come get it.
BB: What are your final thoughts?
Shi’Anne: It pays to come to school every day, and to eat a healthy school lunch!”
Congratulations to Shi’Anne, and have fun on that new bike!
