Donations Needed

SNACKS! SNACKS! SNACKS!

The Wraparound Department provides students with the non-academic supports necessary to be successful in school; including access to mental and physical health professionals, food, housing, and more.

Pershing’s WrapAround specialist, Ms. Rushing, keeps snacks on site at Pershing to distribute to students.

Are you able to help with a snack donation? Items needed: granola bars, pop tarts, chips and fruit snacks.

Please consider adding one of these items to your grocery shopping for our students. You can bring it into the front office to be given to the WrapAround Department.

Any questions? Please contact alesha.rushing@houstonisd.org.

8th grade needs these by May 16.
