Close to 750 elementary students are expected to attend homecoming pep rally where ÐÔÊӽ紫ý students will share their stories about college life and teach kids the ÐÔÊӽ紫ý fight song. ÐÔÊӽ紫ý will also donate books collected during the homecoming week to the school's library, and the school's top readers will be invited to ÐÔÊӽ紫ý's Nov. 3 homecoming football game against New Mexico.
ÐÔÊӽ紫ý's Adopt-A-School program began in 2009 as a way to introduce higher education to children at an early age. Throughout the program, elementary school students are encouraged to excel academically and are rewarded with pizza parties and prizes.
ÐÔÊӽ紫ý has adopted five local at-risk schools: Cynthia Cunningham Elementary, Oran K. Gragson Elementary, Dean Petersen Professional Development School, Paradise Professional Development School, Ruth Fyfe Empowerment School.
The Adopt-A-School rally at Cunningham Elementary is open to ÐÔÊӽ紫ý students and employees.
