The Rise School of Houston

And just like that… it’s Summer One break! 🌞
We hope everyone enjoys some well-deserved rest and sunshine. Have an amazing break! ✨💛

This week is all about unlocking imagination with boxes! 📦The children have been empowered to crawl, sit, stand, and play with friends, discovering the endless possibilities that boxes bring. Is the box a boat, a car, a tunnel, a tower? 🛶🗼Up to your mind! Can't wait to see what incredible feats they'll achieve with our humble boxes! 🎉

What an unforgettable day at the Heart and Sol Luncheon! With record‑breaking ticket sales, an incredible Mistress of Ceremonies in Kristin Tassin, and a powerful parent testimonial from Rachel Dunnigan, our community showed up with so much love and purpose. Together, we met our Match Raise goal by bringing in $100,000 in just 12 minutes, and raised a total of $353,000 in support of Rise students and the scholarships that help them learn, grow, and shine. Thank you to all of our lovely guests and supporters for making this possible! 💙💛

💛✨ Our Rise students took the Heart and Sol runway with courage, joy, and the kind of confidence that grows when children with and without disabilities learn, play, and rise together. Their moment on the runway showed what true inclusion looks like: creativity, community, and every child celebrated for exactly who they are. Their steps reflect our mission and the limitless potential we believe in every day.

Say "HELLO" to our new Rise School-customized police vehicle, which is working hard to keep our school safe! LT Pinzon shared, "Our SROs at The Rise School came up with an outstanding concept for their shop unit, and I couldn’t be prouder of the vision and effort behind it. This design represents who we are, not just as officers, but as a team committed to service, connection, and going above and beyond for every child, family, and staff member we encounter. 🐺 🌞This isn’t just a vehicle....it’s a reflection of our purpose at The Rise School. It highlights our partnership, our presence, and the heart we bring to this assignment every single day... Thank you to everyone involved in bringing this to life. This is the kind of work that sets our team apart and continues to raise the standard. Thank you, Chief and Commander, for giving us the green light and making this happen." 💙💛
