Behind every great event is a planning table full of ideas, laptops, coffee… and lots of teamwork! 🧡🐾

CEF is already hard at work planning what’s ahead, and we’re so excited for another year of supporting our teachers, students, and Celina ISD community.

Great things happen when passionate people come together with a purpose. ✨

When HBA Design Build wanted to make a difference where support was needed, they reached out to the Celina Education Foundation. 🧡

Together, we identified an opportunity to support the staff at Willard Middle School by helping stock their new break rooms with snacks, drinks, coffee supplies, and other essentials.

This is what community partnership looks like—connecting people who want to give with opportunities to make a meaningful impact in Celina ISD.

If your business, organization, or family is looking for a way to support our schools, we’d love to help connect you with a need. 🐾

A huge thank you to HBA Design Build for stepping up and investing in our educators!

Today, CEF was proud to help make a meaningful team-building experience possible for the founding staff at Willard Middle School.

Each teacher created and signed a painting that will become a permanent part of their classroom—a lasting legacy for future students and teachers.

We’re honored to invest in experiences that strengthen our educators and build traditions that will last for generations. 🧡🎨

𝑨 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 💙🧡

The Preston Trail Rotary Club was honored to present the Ralph O’Dell Scholarship to Avelyn Jensen.

The Ralph O’Dell Scholarship truly embodies “Service Above Self,” because Ralph is a Rotarian who has never stopped serving others. For him, service was never about recognition; it was about showing up, giving back, and making a difference wherever he could.

As we stood there presenting this scholarship, it felt bigger than an award. It felt like the passing forward of something deeply important, the legacy that serving others leaves behind.

Some scholarships honor achievement, and others honor character. This is one of those scholarships that truly honors character.

Congratulations, Avelyn Jensen. We know this is only the beginning of the impact you will make on the world. 💙
