Early Christmas
Today is our first annual Saturday School for Christmas! We have had a great time decorating cookies, visiting with Santa, playing with playdoh, and just enjoying each other's company! I don't even think the kids know its not a regular school day, and their parents have a whole day to shop and do whatever they need to do to get ready for Christmas!
Feliz Navidad from The Helping House!

When it rains...
It seems I took a hiatus from posting here while the sky took a hiatus from raining. And, since yesterday we had a small (much needed) flood in Nacogdoches, I'll commemorate that with some news about The Helping House.
We are halfway done with our first Summer Clinic. Session I was a learning experience for all involved, but we have had such a good time doing it! Maria and I have been blessed to have been joined by four lovely young women who are so eager to work with our kids and make a difference! With a staff of six and eight students enrolled, we had a great ratio to target some specific areas of need, and overall we have been successful!
Our students spend their days in structured group and social activities that are tailored to their individual needs. Some students work on sitting still at circle time, while others are focusing on using appropriate communication with their peers.
We have also been working on fundraising to help with scholarships for the Fall. If you know of anyone who might be interested in helping us in ANY way (volunteerism, grant writing, grant FINDING, etc) please pass on our information.
This summer has been a blessing! We can't wait to see what Summer II brings - hopefully more rain!
