The First 100th Day Ballon has returned!

The yellow balloon traveled 213 miles to a pasture in Henderson, Texas and was kindly returned by Wesley Colley, a Business teacher and coach at Henderson High school. How exciting! Thank you Coach for the exciting return and wonderful letter!

Sprinkles

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."

~ Dr. Seuss

Can Drive Success!

SHAC and the Granger Food Pantry would like to say thank you to all who supported the food drive. We had such a wonderful turn out. We took 2 full car loads to the pantry! Helping our community and serving others is a rewarding experience that we hope will empower our kids and continue their desire to help others.

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." Dr. Seuss The Lorax
