ARO Grand Prairie (End of Spring Semester)
This will be our spring semester trip where we travel to Grand Prairie for a week and mentor 8th graders in GPISD. We will shadow students throughout the day and facilitate educational and team building activities after school. Being with students for a longer period of time allows counselors to truly invest time in their future and create a bond with the students they work with.

If accepted into the organization, you will be required to pay $35 in dues per semester. Dues will cover  ARO expenses necessary to make this year successful. We will have monthly required general meetings on Wednesday evenings as well as committee meetings that meet throughout the month.

Email us at aggiesreachingout@gmail.com with any questions or concerns :)
Our Zoom informationals will be held on Wednesday, January 25th and Thursday, January 26th at 5pm.
