Today we want to shoutout one of our donors, Stacy Lindeman!

Ms. Lindeman is the Director of Special Education in Community Independent School District.

When asked why she donates monthly, she said:

"Education is my calling, and I believe in the incredible impact that comes from investing in those who dedicate their lives to making a difference. Supporting the Foundation is my way of giving back to a district that has become such an important part of my story while helping create opportunities that inspire our students and support our educators. When we invest in our teachers and our children, we are investing in the heart of Community and building a stronger future for all."

Thank you for your generosity, Ms. Lindeman!

For 20 years, our community has shown what's possible when we invest in our students and teachers. 💙

As our 20th Anniversary Campaign comes to a close, we're asking one last time: Will you help us finish strong?

Every gift helps provide innovative classroom grants, enrich learning experiences, and create opportunities that wouldn't exist otherwise.

If our schools have ever made an impact on your life, now is your chance to pay it forward for the next students.

Join us as we celebrate 20 years of transforming classrooms in Community Independent School District and help shape the next 20 years!

Today we want to highlight one of our monthly donors, Dr. Alicia Young!

Dr. Young is the Assistant Principal at Community High School.

When asked why she donates, Dr. Young said:

"I donate monthly because I know that the money raised by the Community Education Foundation goes directly back to the classrooms to enhance the learning experiences of our students. Our teachers work tirelessly to provide students with engaging activities and resources that bring learning to life. Donations through the CEF help teachers create those magical moments in the classroom."

Thank you for your generosity, Dr. Young!
