Silver Eagles

SILVER EAGLES KICKS OFF SCHOOL YEAR WITH LARGEST CROWD YET

BY STEVEN OFFIELD DIRECTOR OF DIGITAL MEDIA AND MARKETING

WORD IS SPREADING AROUND ALLEN ISD about the coolest new club to join. Not at the high school, but at the administration building. It’s the Silver Eagles Club!

Silver Eagles is a club for community members over the age of 60 where they can stay informed about the school district, attend special events and performances, hear directly from district leaders on important issues and enjoy socializing with friends and neighbors.

“I love seeing the smiles and excitement that our Silver Eagles have for our events,” said Director of Community Services Ashley Crowson. “They are so appreciative of the opportunity to mingle with our students and to learn about all of the amazing things that Allen ISD has to offer.”

Silver Eagles don’t just sit in meetings and listen to presentations, though. Members attend Silver Eagles meetings and activities designed for their interest, including field trips to campuses and special facilities such as the Allen ISD STEAM Center.

“I was blown away by the STEAM Center,” said Lennie Gunderson, a Silver Eagle member. “It gives our students a huge advantage to explore their interests early on. Everyone should experience the tour!”

Silver Eagles members were also treated to a play by Allen High School theatre and orchestra students.

“It is remarkable how talented our theatre and orchestra students were during the production of Beauty and the Beast,” said Gunderson. “I would put their performance up against any I have watched in the professional theatre.”
