Wildcat Weekly from the Superintendent : Jason Marshall
Our hearts go out to the millions of Texans who have been displaced from their homes , jobs , and schools this week due to Hurricane Harvey . It has been heartbreaking to see the news stories of families in danger and the lives of so many being disrupted by this storm . It is also heartwarming to see people coming together to help in any way they can .
I am reminded of what our own community went through as a result of a storm last April . The events were devastating and heartbreaking for us all . During this difficult time , Palestine came together with love and support from within this community and with the help of other communities .
As those affected by the hurricane work to get through the coming days and months , I encourage each of us to help out as we are able and to remember them in our thoughts and prayers .
Thank you PISD staff for a great start to the school year !
Hurricane Harvey Fundraiser
Larissa Loveless , PISD Director of Public Relations , is coordinating a fundraiser to help victims of flooding caused by the hurricane . Each campus will be collecting monetary donations that will be used in the relief efforts . Those attending our first two home football games will also have an opportunity to donate at the games .
