Teachers are
some of the most spectacular people I know.
Of course, we know they spend lots of their time serving the students
they teach each day, but when asked if they had anytime to serve other outside
of school the response was OVERWHELMING.
Take a look at the great things TWE teachers are doing in Katy and
surrounding areas to build community.
·
I
like to volunteer with my teenaged boys at the Beacon, which is a ministry to
the homeless in Downtown Houston. Also in the summer, the boys and I
regularly volunteer at Lunches of Love. (Mrs.
Baisden, academic support teacher)
·
My
church participates in Operation Christmas each year and I filled a shoebox
with fun things for a child in need. It was really neat, because we were able
to track our shoebox and see what part of the country our box went to! Mine
went to a little girl in Cambodia J It was so fun to do something selfless for a young child so
that they can have a nice Christmas! Next year, my family and I decided to start
the “white envelope” tradition, where we make a donation to an organization
instead of receiving gifts.. (Ms. Morgan,
3rd grade teacher)
·
Tomorrow my kids and I are volunteering at House of Amos. We
volunteered for Cross Walk Houston and Family Point Ministries over the
holidays. We also make sack lunches once a month for a Houston
shelter. (Mrs. Shorter, art teacher)
·
I play the piano for my church every Sunday. It is one of the highlight of my week! (Mrs. Ross, 2nd grade teacher)
·
I
volunteer with the Junior League of Houston through our
community projects. This year, I have been busy sewing diaper bags and changing
pads for the Baylor Teen Health Clinic and Houston Area Women's Center, as well
as making overnight bags for children spending the night at the Children's
Museum of Houston. My fiancé, Philip, and I also volunteer at the
Houston Food Bank with his law firm.
(Ms. Schieffer, 4th grade teacher)
·
I
volunteer at Grace Fellowship United Methodist Church with junior high and high
school students. Each Sunday I help welcome junior high and high school
students. I also volunteer to serve at many youth events throughout the year.
This summer I volunteered for a junior high mission trip in Atlanta. We worked
with meal program for senior citizens and we worked with refugees. (Mrs. Heinold, 1st grade teacher)
·
I volunteer at our church's Current Cupboard, handing out food to
needy families in Katy. (Mrs. Tas,
kindergarten teacher)

Girl Scout cookie mom. (Mrs.
Artley, 5th grade teacher)
·
I
am a co-leader for my daughter’s brownie troop and a cookie manager. We do
service projects like packing lunches for the downtown 3rd ward. We
made blankets for the Ronald Mc Donald house. (
Mrs. Creighton, 2nd grade teacher)
·
We
made first aid kits to donate. We donate our cookies to the Ballard House that
we do not sell.
