Student-athletes participate in Operation Christmas Child

The Christmas spirit came to East Texas Baptist University earlier than usual as the student-athletes participated in Operation Christmas Child this week. ETBU student-athletes came together with their gifts for boys and girls and wrapped them all in one night.

In the first year of the ETBU Athletic Operation Christmas Child Wrapping Party, the athletic department collected 181 boxes for boys and girls through donations from ETBU's 500 student-athletes. These boxes were then delivered to Summit United Methodist Church in Marshall.

ETBU's Spirit Teams inspire future college students

East Texas Baptist University's Tiger Pom and Tiger Cheer teams traveled to Whitehouse ISD's Cain Elementary School on Oct. 28 to take part in a school-wide celebration of the "No Excuses Program." 

As part of this program, each classroom "adopts," represents, and learns about a college all year. Terri Cassels' Kindergarten class selected ETBU this year. 

"We are instilling in our students, from pre-k to 5th grade, the importance of going to college," Cassels said. "We want them to understand and believe that college can be a part of their future."
