Krueger Middle School - Yearly Events

Yearly Events

  • School Fundraiser: Done usually around late August to mid-September
  • Red Ribbon Week: A week-long drug-free program, usually done in mid to late October. Starting this year, the art students have made posters to hang up around the school. Some had classic slogans, like "Be drug free if you want to hang with me" and "Too cool for drugs". Others had some rather original quotes, like "When you do drugs... all your base are belong to us". Also, awareness bracelets are given out, which are a red-orange color, with the words "Live Drug Free" written on it. There are also daily contests during the week. The week featured Crazy Sunglasses day, Crazy Tie day, Crazy Slippers day, Crazy Hat day, and Crazy socks day, in the respective order. Prizes are given to the top students in the categories. There are also contests done in media, such as paintings, drawings, video skits, literature, "news broadcasts","public advisories", and poetry.
  • Krueger Band UIL: This is done near the late March - mid April time for the bands of KMS.
  • Academic UIL: Four sessions are held during the year; three practice sessions and a final championship session. This is done in late May. Subjects include, but are not limited to, Mathematics, Number Sense, Maps, Charts, and Graphs, Science, Social Studies, and Dictionary Skills.

Famous quotes containing the words yearly and/or events:

    “What is last year’s snow to me,
    Last year’s anything? The tree
    Budding yearly must forget
    How its past arose or set—”
    —Countee Cullen (1903–1946)

    “By many a legendary tale of violence and wrong, as well as by events which have passed before their eyes, these people have been taught to look upon white men with abhorrence.... I can sympathize with the spirit which prompts the Typee warrior to guard all the passes to his valley with the point of his levelled spear, and, standing upon the beach, with his back turned upon his green home, to hold at bay the intruding European.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
