Mike Moses Middle School (MMMS) Student Council (STUCO) members volunteered to start an Adopt-A-Street program, partnering with the City of Nacogdoches, to keep a section of the streets free from litter.

If you are after a high-paying job and you picked an engineering major at SFA, you're well on your way. What other college majors will lead to the most money after graduation?

Heads up SFA students. And high school students too. Chipotle is giving out free drinks through the month of September and here's what you have to do to get it.

A Texas teacher is getting a lot of attention for a "no homework" policy that she says she's planning to stick to all year long. She wants kids to play outside, have dinner with family, and get to bed early instead of burying noses in the books at home.  Think it'll catch on?

It's a brand new school year and a fresh opportunity to get good grades.  But will the best and brightest in Texas stick around after graduation?

We are well aware of the rivalry between the Longhorns and Aggies. Can a Longhorn fan flash the "Hook 'em Horns" sign, take a pic at the Aggie Memorial dedicated to military veterans, and put that pic on social media?  Not without causing a huge stir.

Summer isn't all about lounging by the pool, sleeping late, and playing video games. For some Lufkin students it's about keeping minds sharp and hitting physics camp, and it continues today. These teens are smart!

Spring Break travelers from Texas have an advantage being so close to Mexico -- it's not far away. Mexico is the most popular destination to hit for a student vacation, but it doesn't come without a little risk.  Will there be a travel warning this year?

I graduated with 12 people in my high school class in Nebraska, so it's hard for me to comprehend a high school where there are three thousands students.  That's huge! Or maybe it's time to admit my little class of six boys and six girls was abnormally tiny.  I graduated at the top of my class, but I don't spend much time telling people I only had 11 people behind me.  Shh...don't tell!  And those

I love looking at all the back-to-school pics on social media this time of year. One of my sassy, fun (and kid-less) Facebook friends posted this on Monday, "Um...Did school start?" Haha! What makes you say that?! Yeah...maybe we parents are guilty of overloading Facebook with backpack pics, but we don't have anything else exciting going on. Sideways wink!

Some Lufkin students aren't taking the summer off to lay by the pool.  Okay, maybe they'll do that too.  But they're studying right now under the Gear Up STEM program at Lufkin High School, and they're getting to do some pretty cool things.

I ran across some stats that said concentration levels improve when teens get 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sleep per night, they'd be at their peak if school started about 10am.  Think that will happen?
