On August 18, Cristo Rey Jesuit held its first annual health fair for our students, their families, and the surrounding community. The event was a big hit, with more than 200 (possibly more than 300) attendants, who learned about healthy eating, dental hygiene, and more. In addition to the many clinics and programs in attendance, the Ronald McDonald Mobile Care Unit from Texas Children's Hospital came to the school, to offer immunizations to all. The health fair also included face painting, music, and a bouncy castle for the younger siblings of our students. The excitement in the building during the health fair was incredible, with more than 150 people waiting for the doors to open at 8:30. We at Cristo Rey are very grateful to all of the sponsors of the health fair, as well as all of our attendees.

At their corporate work-study jobs, our students will be doing many things, from filing paperwork to doing data entry.  In preparation for that, our students spent the day learning computer skills, with an introduction to Microsoft Word and Excel.  Over the course of this week, students will be visiting three of Houston's premiere universities to do their computer training -- Rice University, University of Houston, and St. Thomas University.  The students will rotate through the week, with one group at Cristo Rey every day.  The students are taking tours of the colleges, getting a feel for some of the places they might go to school after graduation.
