Every summer, the Southlake Women's Club sells pre-packaged,brCISD-approved school supplies to parents across the community. This 15-yearbrtradition has brought in over $300,000 for the school district – money thatbreach participating school uses to address its specific needs.
At a check presentation last week, the club gifted CISD withbrover $37,500 for nearly a dozen schools, including Carroll Middle, CarrollbrElementary, Johnson Elementary and Durham Intermediate.
Carroll Elementary School is putting its share of the fundsbrtowards the installation of exercise stations on the playground, and Jack D.brJohnson Elementary is using its money to give students more options. LoribrAllison, the school's principal, said via press release, “We are dedicating thebrfunds to alternate seating arrangements such as bouncy bands, rocker chairs andbrbalance ball chairs to accommodate various learning styles and the need forbrstudents to wiggle while they work.”
Thanks to the Southlake Women's Club, those students won'tbrbe the only ones wiggling, as principals, teachers and administrators do a happy dance over the influx of financial aid.
The next School Supply Sale begins on May 1, and will runbrthrough July 20. Visit SouthlakeWomensClub.org for more information.
