Elementary school program

Postby smumed » Wed Aug 20, 2014 9:21 am

My wife is an elementary school (fourth grade) teacher in Garland, at Centerville elementary. This is a Title 1 school, many students who are underprivileged. The school has a program to promote the idea of going to college at a very young age. The classes adopt a college/university of the teacher's choice, decorate their classrooms with material from that school, give t-shirts/swag to the students etc. My wife and I are both SMU alums. My wife actually did her masters at Simmons in education. That being said, I have reached out to various people, trying to see if there is anyone on campus that could help get materials for the class. I have not had success in hearing back from anyone. My wife, last year, took all of the fourth grade students at the school for an SMU field trip. We also spend our own money to buy SMU things. We didn't know if the school maybe has t-shirts lying around somewhere that were never used that we could give to the kids. Anyhow, just was wondering if you all have any suggestions of who may be the best person to contact at SMU for this type of project. Thank you for any and all help.

Neat idea. Just off the top of my head. You might put a call in to Brad Sutton, the Athletic Sports Information Director. He inturn can probably stear you in the right direction. It does not have to all fall on the athletics side I would presume that the Simmons school would also have someone that can help. Start with Brad and go from there. I wish your wife all the best.

Thanks for the suggestion, I really appreciate it. I did contact Mr. Sutton last year but never heard from him. I also sent the SMU SID pony fan member a PM, but haven't heard anything. I will keep trying. Thanks for your help!
