We are entering the FIFTH year of our partnership with Reynolds Elementary! We'd like to share some BIG thank yous and catch you up on what we have been doing:

Thank you to our Congregants for their amazing financial support!! 

• Over the past two years, you purchased $19,000 of school supplies from our Amazon Wish List
• You also donated $35,000 to fund supplies and programs for the students and staff.

We have been busy these past four years!

• The first year, we provided every student with new backpacks, and every year we have purchased thousands of dollars in school supplies
• BY Co-sponsored HISD's “Leader in Me” leadership curriculum for the school students
• Each year, we have arranged several special lunches and celebrations for the teachers
• We prepared incentive goodie bags for kids to motivate kids to reach their online attendance and participation goals during COVID
• We provided special t-shirts to recognize the members of the Reynolds Student Council, as well as treats for student council and sporting activities.
• For three years, we have partnered with Congressman Al Green to provide each family with a Thanksgiving meal, including a turkey and an HEB gift card
• Each Christmas we have collected enough toys to gift every student a new toy.  This past year we had tremendous support from BYDS and our Religious School.
• We underwrote a Pre-K intervention curriculum in math and beginning reading skills
• We had first virtual and then in-person tutors in the classrooms to help with critical reading skills.  Our dedicated tutors continue working with the kids on a weekly basis.
• This past year, we helped the PTO to incorporate and get up and running, giving the school even more valuable support.

We are so proud of our congregation's support and of all the HARD WORK done by Diane Levy and her committee. 

So what should we focus on now?

• 2024-25 School Supply Amazon Wish List!  Reynolds Elementary has been designated an NES school this year, which means that HISD will be providing all the required school supplies.  Most of the students at Reynolds, however, do not have access to new uniforms.  That's where we come in!  If you'd like to purchase uniforms that will be direct-shipped to Reynolds to be distributed to the kids, head to their Amazon Wish List.
• Cash Donations! We will continue providing Reynolds with necessary school supplies, intervention curricula, teacher lunches, and celebrations. If you'd rather give a donation than shop the wish list, we'd be happy to do the shopping for you with your donation. We welcome your donations to continue supporting all of Reynolds' programs!
