Give Back to the Community Challenge
Ms. Mau, an ELA teacher at SCHS, challenged her students to give back to the community by making electronic get well e-cards for patients at MD Anderson and Texas Children's. We encourage you to make cards for your relatives, neighbors, community members, or patients in hospitals locally or nationally. Hopefully, your words and thoughts will brighten someone's day.
