POSTER PARTIES- Potter parties captured the attention oI many OEA members They consisted of late hours after school showing tlwer school spirit OEA Class Prepares Business Operation Students wanting to learn a valuable skill and be motivated to succeed are students who care about their future after high school. The Office Education Association does just that and more. Office Education Association (OEA) is also involved in many trips throughout the year. Early September meant long long hours of traveling for OEA members all the way to Corpus Christi Tx. (to attend a leadership conference). Football season also meant something for OEA members unlike football players, cheerleaders, band, and drill teams, it meant staying after school to make posters for either pep rallies or for football games. Posters were painted to try and lift school spirit. Late October while everyone is out Trick-or-Treat-ing. you found OEA members at the McAllen Medical Center delivering candy bags to all the children giving them a boost to recuperate. Members took time a day before to put candy into bags (bags were provided by BEALLS shopping store). One of the mem bers went on to say it was incredible ho many smiles were left on the children's faces. They also focused on meeting Tues day's and Thursday's. Led by president Rob ert Diaz, having many responsibilities to cope with every day as well as vice-president. Laura Garcia. They both kept meetings in order and running smooth week after week.
