School Programs
   
Cub Scouts  

Cage's Cub Scout Troop, Pack 1375, of about 20 first - fifth grade boys resumed the program in the 2002-2003 school year under the guidance of Cub Master Ruben Gonzales.  Through fun and adventure, young boys learn principles of good citizenship, personal achievement, spiritual growth, and character development, among others.  This year, Scouts and their parent volunteers have participated in the Fishing Derby, Cuboree Weekend Extravaganza, and popcorn fundraising.  Currently, the troop is preparing for the Blue and Gold Recognition Event and Summer Camp.  Meetings are held year-round every Monday, from 6 - 7 p.m. in room 104.  If you would like more information about Cub Scouts, please contact Ruben Gonzales at (713) 924-1700.
Cheerleaders  

The Cage Cheerleading Squad commenced during the 2002-2003 school year under the instruction of Vanessa Flores and Cynthia Ybarra.  Cheerleading began as a form of enrichment and a means to develop the students' dance talent, self-discipline, and appreciation for teamwork.  Practices are held on Tuesdays from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m.  Performances scheduled are Open House, Christmas Program, Cinco de Mayo Parade, TAKS Pep Rally, and Cinco de Mayo Program.  Tryouts for Cheerleading are held in May.  Boys and girls must be in the 3-5 grade during the following school year to participate.  If you are interested in auditioning or would like more information, please contact Cynthia Ybarra at (713) 924-1700.
Ballet Folklorico / Modeling  

The Ballet Folklorico / Modeling program strives to develop appreciation of physical movement, various types of music, and artistic dance.  Dance instruction is given by Angelica Sifuentes who will be accompanied by choreographer, Juan Zamora.  Mr. Zamora will visit from Mexico during the end of April to the beginning of May to instruct participants in modern dance.  Practices will take place 2 times per week, from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m.  The dance group of 30+ first through third students will perform at the Cinco de Mayo program as well other school programs.  Although there is no cost to participate, students are responsible for purchasing 3 costumes.  Currently, the dance group is recruiting boys and girls in 1-3 grade.  If you are interested in joining, contact Angelica Sifuentes at (713) 924-1700.    
Odyssey of the Mind  

Odyssey of the Mind (OEM) is a multidisciplinary learning whereby students apply science and problem solving to build projects.  OEM members are working together to build the Envirover, a human powered vehicle that collects and delivers trash to a factory to be used for manufacturing a specific product.  While learning how to build this project, creativity and imagination are fostered without focusing on the right answer.  Meetings are held on Mondays, as well as other days, from 3:30 - 5:00 p.m.  For more information, contact Kipyn Rehyer at 713/ 924-1700 or visit the national website at http://www.odysseyofthemind.com.
