more Congrats to all the Tiger Band members that performed at this Saturday’s KISD Solo and Ensemble!! Congrats to KC Winter Guard rd 3 for placing at this Saturday’s Regional WGI competition!!! Go KC Winter Guard!!! NATURAL DAY 2015 What is Natural Day? Natural day is a day dedicated to loving who you are, as you are. A day dedicated to embracing your natural beauty, by going “all natural,” meaning doing nothing to change your natural physical appearance. Why is Natural Day important? Natural Day is important because today in our world there’s so much emphasis put on physical appearance, that for one day we want to put it all aside. It’s a day to come together and love one another for who we are. How does Natural Day impact our school? Although it appears to seem that it doesn’t make a difference; we’ve gotten personal feedback from students from our school. Lives have been affected positively from this day; and to us, one person makes this whole project worth it. Not only does Natural Day affect our school; but it’s slowly impacting the world. Countries now participating in Natural day: The United States, The UK, Netherlands, Brazil, France, Mexico, Sweden, Portugal, Canada, Germany, Mauritius, Peru, Argentina, Columbia, Cyprus, Finland, Bosnia, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Norway, Spain, Belgium. The best part is, Klein Collins is where it all began. This huge movement all started in a small town in Texas.
