Village Strong

HIGHLIGHTING THREE OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS

Without the help and volunteerism of corporations like Tolleson Wealth Management and Ernst & Young (EY), the “Village” of St. Philip’s would not be what it is today. Our volunteers happily contribute their time, talents, and efforts to create a better environment for those we serve daily in and around the South Dallas area. Below are ways a few of our dynamic partners recently dedicated their time to St. Philip’s:

<< Tolleson Wealth Management

In August, Tolleson Wealth Management participated in a food and supply drive to support Aunt Bette’s Community Pantry. Tolleson Wealth Management contributed approximately $3,000 in online donations and 2,000 pantry items and products for individuals and families who receive support from the Pantry. Tolleson Wealth has participated on a yearly basis in support of St. Philip’s with various volunteer opportunities since 2019.

Ernst & Young (EY) >>

EY spent a Friday morning on November 9, helping prep our campus for St. Philip’s Ribbon Cutting & Unveiling event. These wonderful volunteers, with excitement and a drive to work, rearranged furniture for the Landin Family Literacy Library where tutoring is held, shelved books in the Trammell Crow Library, helped plant flowers at the front of our building, and spent time virtually reading books to our students! The time and effort they invested in just one day, will be remembered by students, faculty and staff.

Episcopal School of Dallas (ESD)

The Episcopal School of Dallas (ESD) students volunteered in Aunt Bette’s Community Pantry stocking and sorting items for individuals and families in the community. Students also spent time helping put food in neighbors’ vehicles. During this volunteer opportunity, we received 200 sports balls (footballs, basketballs, soccer balls, baseballs) and other athletic items for the Christmas Store. The ESD volunteer team also delivered Christmas boxes to senior citizens in the community.

WELCOMING NEW BOARD MEMBERS

St. Philip’s School and Community welcomes four new board members to continue fulfilling the mission and vision of St. Philip’s School and Community Center. Our Board Members are an integral part of this community and ministry.

ST. PHILIP’S ADOPTS A 10 YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN

St. Philip’s School and Community Center acknowledges former trustees, John Kiser and Kathy Hubbard, for leading the development of a new 10-year Strategic Plan. Due to their hard work and dedication, staff of SPSCC, volunteers, and board members came together to develop and implement a unique roadmap that respects and engages board and staff’s strengths & fosters collaboration, accountability, and transparency.

This plan, which was enthusiastically adopted by the current board of trustees, asks and addresses the questions, “Who will St. Philip’s be in the future?” and “How can we grow into a better version of what exists now?” Divided into pillars, the strategies developed dive deep into the moving parts of our school and community center. The vision and deliberate planning of this strategic plans opens more doors for greater expansion for St. Philip’s and the students and families we serve.
