Children First School Partnerships

And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” - Matthew 25:40

"Children First" School Partnerships

Our partnerships with Mark Twain Elementary and (new for 2024-25) Dover Elementary in Richardson ISD provide opportunities to make a difference in the lives of children and teachers in our community.

Whether reading with students, joining them for Buddy Fun Day, or supporting the hard work of the staff at their schools, it never fails to warm our hearts as we participate in the educational journey.

Email to learn more or join the mailing list.

Support both schools by joining their PTAs as a community member at www.joinpta.org.
