Our CHS students once again amaze me in their spirit and generosity to support a worthy cause. The National Honor Society, Student Council, and PALS students participated in the Snowball Express on Friday at Main Event in Plano. They welcomed, greeted, and cheered to show children and families that the sacrifice of their fallen hero is not forgotten. Snowball Express remembers those fallen heroes who will never return, and honors the supreme sacrifice the families have made. The organization tries to provide hope and happy memories to children of fallen military who have died on active duty since 9/11.
I am very proud that in this holiday season, which is unfortunately sometimes consumed in commercialism and “receiving” rather than “giving”, that our CISD students remember the less fortunate. We have several community service projects at each campus including toy drives, coat drives, and food basket delivery. We have participated in Fostering Hope as a school district, helping families in our area receive gifts for their children which otherwise would not be possible. It is very heart-warming to live and work in a community that reaches out to others and remembers the true meaning of the holiday.
On behalf of Community ISD, I would like to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
