Panhandle Teacher Wishes

08/16/2026

With the last student lists fulfilled, we’re officially checking out for the school year! 💛

This summer came with its fair share of challenges, frustrations, and even some sickness (nothing to worry about there, just pregnancy! Surprise! 🤪).

However, after sharing some of those struggles, the support and encouragement came flowing in. Because of that, this isn’t goodbye, but rather a **“see you later.”**

This past year also showed me a more specific need within our community that I would love to make the main focus moving forward. That idea will take some planning, time, and preparation, so you may see us pop back up next summer… or maybe not until 2028. We’ll see! 😉

In the meantime, I still want to help our community whenever I can, so please feel free to reach out if there’s something I may be able to help with.

Most importantly, thank you for making the past two years so amazing. It has truly been a blessing to be able to give back, support our teachers and students, and help wherever I could.

Thank you for believing in this little dream and being part of it. 💛

Many blessings,
The Hester Family

And we have completed ALL 12 students school supply lists! Today we have half of them ready!
To those that donated, thank so much for your help! The past few weeks has been a BOOM of donations through supplies and funds to get supplies!

With that, we do have some extra things! So teachers, counselors, and admin!! If on or after the first day you notice a student is missing anything feel free to reach out and we can see if we have it!

Parents, if after the first day your student says they need more for school. Reach out and we can see if we have it!

Again thank you all so much! This has been a successful back to school season truly!
