Check out what our Program Staff has been up to this year...

JANUARY - FEBRUARY 2023 Happy Valentine's Day from Heart House! pictured from left to right: Gilian (TA, Teaching Associate), Divina (3rd-5th Teacher), Linda, (TA), and D'Andre (TA) To help kick off programming, our Program Team has been hosting outreach events in front of the Vickery Park Branch Library. It's been a bit chilly in Vickery Meadow, so our staff made "Snowman Soup" (hot chocolate) to pass out to students along with school supplies, Heart House shirts, and hoodies. Our Teaching Associates created fun games for students to play while we met new families and spread the word about Heart House. Students made and flew their own paper airplanes to "Fly on Down to Heart House"! Kids had fun practicing their aim while winning fidget toys and candy as prizes. Our staff had a blast too! 🌟 Volunteer Spotlight 🌟 Brian has been volunteering at Heart House since the summer of 2022. From reading with students, listening to them talk about their day, and being a kind presence in the classroom, he has made quite a positive impact on our students. Our students looked forwards to playing soccer with Mr. Brian every week! Volunteer this year! Did you know that if you have at least three hours, one day a week, you could volunteer at Heart House? You must pass a Dallas Independent School District’s background check and commit to at least one month of service.
