Are you seeing lots of college t-shirts today? If you forgot to wear your Longhorn or Aggie, or SFA Jacks gear, run home and change! It's all meant to support students as they move on to the next phase in their academic career, from high school to college.
KTRE says In all 14 independent school districts in Nacogdoches and Angelina counties, teachers and students are all wearing their favorite college t-shirt today. Some schools are having pep rallies and college signings to help pump up students about moving on to college.
Several schools and businesses in Angelina County are getting involved today.
Next week you may be seeing college t-shirts everywhere in Texas.
Next Friday, May 4 is the second annual GenTX Day, when students across the state spend the day surrounded by people wearing college t-shirts. You'll see college t-shirts at the office and at stores and restaurants, and even teachers and staff at schools will trade the business casual clothes for big bold letters and mascot faces, all to support life after high school. All who wear the gear will be sending the message that a college education is a good investment. How does it work?
