“Serious about Seniors” funded Spring of 2011 for $3,954.20 at Glenn Harmon Elementary School. Grant provides for five opportunities for service to the Green Oaks Assisted Living Center by the Kindergarten through fourth grade students at Glenn Harmon Elementary. Each grade level sent 50 students to the Assisted Living Center for a 45 minute visit, which included a small gift made by students and either a musical, audiovisual or dramatic performance. Teaching our students to serve others and about older citizens of society, including the value they provide the community, will ultimately help our students increase respect for all community members.

Honored at the Event: Chris Huckabee – Philanthropy - When the foundation discussed who we would like to honor at our first Gala, Chris Huckabee was the first person we thought of.  Chris has been a major contributor to the Mansfield ISD Education Foundation for the past nine years. He is also a contributor to many other Education Foundations in the State of Texas where he does business. He continues to fund grants that have made a significant impact on the students in Mansfield ISD. He also is a major sponsor of the Academic Recognition Banquet that honors the top students in the district and is a platinum sponsor for the Education Foundation golf tournament. The MISD Education Foundation could not have chosen a more worthy person to honor. More

Honored at the Event: Ashley Purgason – Distinguished Scholar - When the foundation discussed who would be recognized, as our Distinguished Scholar, Ashley Purgason was at the forefront. Ashley was honored in 2002, by the Education Foundation, as one of the top Distinguished Scholars. Ashley began and completed her high school education at Mansfield High School in Mansfield, TX. She is extremely proud to call herself a member of three of the four state championship Lady Tiger basketball teams from Mansfield. Ashley received several academic awards and scholarships. After graduating Summa Cum Laude, Ashley went on to New York City to attend New York University on an academic and athletic scholarship. More
