Sweeny ISD Education Foundation

There are some events that just stick with you… and the Top 10% Luncheon is hands down one of those events. 💙

Getting to watch our students stand up and honor the educators who have shaped their journey is something I truly can’t put into words. The letters they write… the stories they share… the gratitude they express… it is raw, real, and so incredibly powerful.

These kiddos take the time to reflect on the teachers who poured into them, believed in them, and helped guide them to where they are today—and let me tell you, there is not a dry eye in the room. The emotion and impact felt during this event is something you have to experience to fully understand. It is unforgettable.

I am beyond blessed to be part of an organization that values our students and our educators at such a deep level. Because of the generosity of our Education Foundation Board, this entire event is made possible—ensuring our staff feel seen, appreciated, and celebrated for the life-changing work they do every single day.

To our incredible SISD educators—thank you for being the difference. And to our students—thank you for reminding us why it all matters.

My heart is so full. 💙

We had such an exciting visit to one of our Bright Minds Grant recipients, Ms. Doak, at the elementary STREAM Lab!

Thanks to grant funding, Ms. Doak was able to bring 3D printers into her classroom—and WOW, what an impact they are making! Students were fully engaged and having a blast as they worked on a creative project designing their very own food trucks.

Ms. Doak shared that these 3D printers go far beyond just “fun.” They support core subjects like math, science, reading, and writing, while also tapping into students’ creativity and problem-solving skills. From brainstorming and researching ideas to writing out their plans and collaborating with peers, students are involved in every step of the process before ever hitting “print.”

Even more impressive—students understand the expectations and take pride in their work, showing responsibility, teamwork, and focus throughout the entire process.

Experiences like this are helping spark interest in future careers such as engineering and drafting—right here in our own community!

We were so inspired by Ms. Doak and her students and all the amazing things happening in that classroom. Thank you for creating such meaningful, hands-on learning opportunities for our students!
