Houston Elementary 'Hurricane Heroes' honored; student council outlines service and fundraising plans
Summary
Board recognized student leaders and a volunteer (Lori) for community service and the student council reported several upcoming events and drives, including a paper‑roll drive, a Grinch movie night, a toy drive and an eighth‑grade coffee‑shop fundraiser supporting the food shelf.
The board recognized the Houston Elementary 'Hurricane Heroes' for December, praising student leadership and community service efforts. A presenter said the student leadership committee has "stepped up to serve in the community" and described projects including ringing bells, running a school store and plans to assemble birthday kits for food‑shelf families. The teacher guiding the group, referred to as Miss Lambert, was singled out for helping students turn ideas into projects.
Several students were called forward to receive certificates: Henry Cripps, Riley Cross, Aubrey Pearson, Renee Anderson, Harper Hyam and others; Melissa Lambert was named among the adults acknowledged for supporting the program. Student council representative Claire reported on recent activities: attendance at a leadership workshop, a vanilla paper‑roll drive to donate to the local food shelf, a Grinch movie night at the gym with concessions, a toy drive and an eighth‑grade life‑skills 'coffee shop' whose proceeds will support the food shelf.
Board members thanked the students and volunteers and noted the community outreach value of the projects. The recognition and student report were framed as part of routine board acknowledgements and school programming updates.
