Summer Mode Activated
The 12th Annual Walk With Me, presented by Prosperity Bank, was one for the record books! It was the most highly attended event in Easter Seals Greater Houston's 77-year history, with over 4,000 walkers. Our community of clients, family members, supporters, corporate partners, and staff members raised $815,938, the second-highest amount ever. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Every dollar will work to improve the lives of over 14,500 Veterans, Service Members, children and adults with disabilities, and the families who love them. Check out some of our client's recent triumphs and upcoming programming made possible by your care and generosity! We hope you will join the 2024 co-chairs, Katie Dowdell of Prosperity Bank and James Stinson of Quanta Services, for another record-breaking Walk With Me on Saturday, April 20, 2024.
New Caroline School Toddler Classroom
The Caroline School is excited to announce the opening of our Toddler Classroom this Fall! The new classroom is designed for children 18 months to 5 years old. It features a center-based layout, child-led curriculum, and a variety of adaptations and accommodations specific to learners with disabilities. As we specialize in providing individual support and education planning, the teacher to student ratio will remain small – only 2 teachers and five children.
Act now while opportunities are still available to pre-enroll your child for the Fall! The first step is scheduling a tour with Michelle Andrade to learn more about The Caroline School. Please contact Michelle at mandrade@eastersealshouston.org or call 832-776-1758.
