McFee students visit UH campus, cheer on Cougar football team


Students and staff members from McFee Elementary School had to opportunity to attend the University of Houston homecoming football game. Students toured the campus, participated in tailgate activities, cheered on the Cougars to victory over the East Carolina University pirates. Sponsors included Be A Champion, Inc. and Little Coogs, who provided the tickets to the football game free of charge, and A-Plus Mechanical, who generously provided a financial donation for transportation.


"This is the sixth annual field trip for McFee Elementary School students to visit the University of Houston," Melissa Eubanks, McFee ES reading intervention teacher said. "As a member of No Excuses University, McFee teachers believe that all students have the right to be educated in a way that prepares them for college."


McFee teachers represent different colleges in their classrooms and teach their students about that college. Each year, the field trip to the University of Houston gives students a chance to see what a college campus looks like and to participate like a college student at the football game.
