Marie Hughes Elementary School received our first donation of $2,000 from flea market proceeds last fall. We were excited to receive their Educational Fund Donation Impact Report that details how the funds were used. First, to encourage reading enthusiasm and thereby bolster reading skills, they have increased inventory for the very popular book vending machine, which TRNA initially sponsored two years ago.  Students are awarded tokens for behavior and accomplishments which they use to select their own books. Second, to honor departing fifth graders' accomplishments and to create a new school community bond, they initiated the Husky Legacy Project Wall last May. This will be an annual opportunity for graduating fifth grade students (some old-timers may remember the handprints on the cafeteria walls decades ago). You have likely noticed the painted walls on the west side of the campus. To quote from the Impact Report: "This project reflects our belief that “Once a Husky, Always a Husky” that every student leaves their paw print in the pack and becomes part of the ongoing story and tradition of Marie Hughes Elementary. The Legacy Project Wall will provide future generations of students with a visual reminder that they belong to something bigger than themselves and that their contributions matter. Our next donation of $2,000 will be made to LBJ Middle School this fall, after the next flea market. Chamiza Elementary will be the third recipient next year.
