Storytime: Where the Magic Begins!

We had a wonderful Group Storytime at Griggs EC/PK thanks to the volunteers from the Daughters of the American Revolution TSDAR Tejas Chapter.

They kicked off the new year with a winter-themed read-aloud, a fun sequencing lesson, and a hands-on craft that kept our Reading Intervention kindergarten scholars engaged.

It is safe to say the marshmallow snowmen were a big hit and brought lots of smiles to the room. Thank you to our volunteers for making Group Storytime such a fun and meaningful experience for the students.

Congratulations, Precious!

Please join us in congratulating our Community Relations Manager, Precious Daniels, on successfully completing the Emerging Leaders Institute program! 

This prestigious program offered by CenterPoint Energy, the Unted Way of Greater Houston and Texas A&M Mays School of Business equipped mid-level managers in Houston’s nonprofit sector with the skills and insight needed to develop the next generation of community leaders.

3…2…1…Blast Off!

Freudenberg Flow Technologies went to infinity and beyond for their latest Story Swap Library for the students at Étoile Academy Charter School – Bissonnet.

For their 9th library, Freudenberg reached for the stars with this rocket ship inspired library sure to have the kids reaching for the stars…and free books.  Thank you for all of your continued support and empowering our kids to read. 

With Our Gratitude

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Donor Celebration Social!
