Peggy's Porch thanks Howe ISD

by Mary Martha Stewart

We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank Howe ISD for inviting Peggy's Porch to partner with them in order to provide free warm clothing for the winter to those in need this week We are pleased to report that 50 children at the Elementary and Middle School walked away with bags full of jeans, shirts, sweaters, sweatshirts, jackets, socks, athletic wear, accessories and more!

Special recognition goes to Library Director Becky Hogenson, who spearheaded this effort. Without her, this initiative would not have happened She was a tremendous asset--providing the place, "Peggy's Porch bucks," and incredible internal communication and external promotion! We'd also like to thank the Principals, Vice Principals, Guidance Counselors and Special Education teachers at the Elementary and Middle Schools--all of whom played a key role in making this a success Furthermore, it is evident that all of the teachers at both schools really care about the kids--they were all extremely supportive...what a joy it is to work with your team on events such as this one!

We hope to build upon this effort in the future and welcome any feedback or recommendations for improvement Again, thank you for the opportunity to collaboratively and positively impact the lives of Howe families Just another reason we are grateful to be a part of this community during this blessed Thanksgiving season!
