Marilyn Manners, a dedicated teacher at HOB School, identified a need for additional supplies to enrich her student’s learning experience. Upon receiving the list of required items, Superintendent Theresa Axford took action by engaging Gaby Henriquez, a member of the Sunshine Committee at the School District, to address the matter

The collaborative efforts of the staff at the District Admin Building were nothing short of remarkable. Every item on the list was promptly procured, exceeding expectations. Among the supplies provided were a sand table, books, Barbie dolls, clothes, posters, and games, all tailored to enhance the student’s educational journey.

What makes this endeavor even more heartwarming is the timing – the much-needed items arrived just in time for a special occasion. The delivery coincided with the day before the student's birthday, adding an extra layer of joy and excitement to the celebration.

This act of kindness exemplifies the power of community and underscores the commitment of all involved to ensure every student's needs are met. HOB School extends its deepest gratitude to Superintendent Theresa Axford, Gaby Henriquez, and the entire District Administration for their unwavering support and generosity!
