“Everyone can be great because everyone can serve.”
―
Dr. Martin Luther King
The genuine caring of the people in the Mesquite ISD
community is one of my favorite things about our district, and I’m not alone in
this. Many of our employees, students and parents talk about the welcoming, family-like
atmosphere here.
It will be easy to witness that spirit of giving and
kindness during our Districtwide Donation Week that runs November 5-9. During this annual initiative, each school
picks a community project to benefit Mesquite Social Services’ Christmas
Project or the Clothes Closet run by our Council of PTAs.
In 2011, we collected nearly $35,000 in donations, including
money for clothes, nearly 600 toys, more than 350 pairs of socks and 25,000
food items. Not only was each campus involved, but some of our district
employees participated as well. Our district’s maintenance workers, for
example, pitched in by delivering our donations from our
campuses to the beneficiaries.
Thank you for your community involvement and for being a
part of MISD’s greatness.
