Multiple Genres: Analyzing Argumentative Texts By Identifying The Intended Audience Or Reader (TEKS.ELA.6.8.E.iii) Practice Test

Installing bottle‑filling water stations in our hallways is a small investment with a big return. Current fountains waste water and slow traffic between classes. Modern stations include filters, quick-fill spouts, and counters that show bottles saved from landfills. Based on vendor quotes from comparable campuses, a two-station pilot would cost less than replacing two aging fountains this spring. Filters last through an entire semester and can be swapped during routine maintenance, so there is no new staffing burden. Grants from local conservation groups can offset the purchase, and our student Green Club is ready to help with signage and launch. Beyond cutting plastic waste, these stations reduce spills, which means fewer slip hazards and cleaner floors for our custodial team. If we approve a pilot now, we can collect usage data and student feedback before scaling up next year. Let's modernize our hydration options in a way that's safe, sustainable, and budget‑smart.

Let's make our spring reading challenge the biggest one yet. We all know how it feels to get stuck on our phones, but finishing a great book is way more satisfying. If you join, you'll set a personal page goal, pick any genre you like, and track progress with simple check-ins during homeroom. There will be fun mini‑prizes—like bookmarks and art stickers—for weekly milestones, plus a celebration for everyone who meets their goal. Need ideas? Student librarians will host short book spotlights during lunch, and teachers are sharing quick lists of page‑turners. You can read anywhere: on the bus, before practice, or ten minutes before bed. Reading builds focus for every class, not just English, and it's a quiet break your brain will actually enjoy. Sign up takes one minute, and you can start with whatever you're reading now. Let's turn pages together and prove our school can crush a challenge without making it a chore.
