Phuture Phoenix 2007
Dozens of big yellow school buses rolled up at UW-Green Bay Tuesday (Oct. 9) for the first of the week's two Phuture Phoenix Days. The program targets schools with high percentages of students from low-income families and encourages children to graduate from high school and pursue higher ed.
More than 1,200 area fifth-graders from 11 Green Bay elementary schools and several other local districts visited Tuesday. Almost 500 more visitors were expected Thursday from outlying districts.
Students in bright Phuture Phoenix t-shirts stand out near UW-Green Bay's eight-story David A. Cofrin Library at the center of campus.
The welcome-to-campus pep rally at the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts had students on their feet.
A few children were invited to join the UW-Green Bay Phoenix spirit squads on stage.
Fifth-graders enjoyed the opening program at the Weidner. Green Bay and eight other school districts (West De Pere, Oneida Nation, Bonduel, Bowler, Oconto, Shawano, Sturgeon Bay and Suring) sent participants this year.
Phlash the Phoenix was on hand to high-five participants.
Program director Cyndie Shepard invited students to clap along.
