Counselors helping families for the Holidays!!
Fannin Families Receive Gifts
Over 50 Fannin Families received gifts on Wednesday. Special thanks go out to St. John Unleashed in Southlake, our GPISD Transportation Team, Charlette Hart, Crystal Torres, and Flavia Romero. It took some teamwork, but the result was over 50 families, not just kids, but every member of the family will have presents for Christmas! Each student received 3 things they requested, 3 things identified as needs, and 3 things related to education.
We’re not done yet! This Saturday several Fannin teachers will be spending the first day of break in Southlake and at Fannin from 7:30 am through noon to deliver Christmas dinner to 100 Fannin Families! We LOVE what we get to do here at Fannin!
SGP9's Friends of Rachel Club hosted an Angel Tree for the staff and students. Our gift givers who adopted angels included 38 teachers and 10 students. We received over 90 gifts which helped out 11 families (all who have a family member here at SGP9) and 29 kids.
Chocolate Mint Donations at Ochoa
Ochoa staff collected over 230 toys to benefit the organization Chocolate Mint, an organization that provides Christmas assistance to needy families. Our wonderful counselors, Ms. Jones and Ms. Balderas, guard the toys night and day.

From Cradle to Career
Garcia Students Apply for Scholarships
School Counselor Mrs. Swanigan put together a scholarship workshop for the 3rd and 4th grade students. She talked about the importance of scholarships and how students can apply for scholarships as early as 3rd grade and not wait until high school.
Before the students left, they all practiced by completing a creative drawing scholarship application, which they will submit. Great Job Garcia Toros!

Daniels Looking Toward College
In cohesion with College Week, the fourth grade students at David Daniels Elementary are looking forward to their future. The fourth graders composed interest letters and request colleges to send information pertaining to their future endeavors. This was exciting for all and enlightening for those students who may be first generation college attendees in their family.
Way to go David Daniels for preparing students for the future!

YMLA fed 34 families from our campus for Thanksgiving. Every family got a
turkey, a bag of potatoes, dinner rolls, green beans, corn, cream of
chicken and cream of mushroom soup, corn bread, sweet potatoes,
marshmallows, and a dessert. Some of them even got extras like
Thanksgiving bowls, plates, and napkins, eggs, cereal, etc. Last year
we fed 23 families, and our goal this year was 30.... So we exceeded our
goal. Yay!!
