Christ Church partners with Mary Austin Holley
During our Reaching Up…Reaching Out Ministry voting last year, Christ Church members overwhelmingly approved adopting an elementary school in need to reach out with Christ’s love to the community. The dearly loved Jan Schiff informed us about Mary Austin Holley Elementary which serves children in the Four Corners area. This school is two years old, over 80% of their students live at poverty level and they currently have about 5 involved members in their PTO. Pastor Morris, Paul Rostek and Renee Teel met with Principal Michelle Riggs and her team to learn what we as a church could do to help. Here are their Top 5 requests:
- Mentoring or Tutoring
- Substituting
- Classes for Parents (parenting, budgeting, nutrition)
- Teacher Appreciation
- Snack Support for Autistic/Life Skills students
For more information about the opportunities, please see our Partnership Opportunities Chart. Some of the opportunities require a FBISD Background Check Form to be faxed to 281.634.1703. If your heart is ready to reach out, please contact Renee Teel.
