Nimitz High’s ‘Cougars Who Care’ Group Visits Ronald McDonald House

Student members of Cougars Who Care at Nimitz High School recently visited the Ronald McDonald House.

The Ronald McDonald House provides a home to families and their ill children in Houston’s Texas Medical Center.

The visit helped Nimitz High students experience the gratification of having an impact on a family’s life.

The students set up a banner in the cafeteria at Nimitz High School. This gave the student body an chance to write get-well messages during their lunch periods.

The students worked hard to make the visit special. Ten students under the Communities In School (CIS) umbrella prepped food at the campus. They also prepared a menu that included a King Ranch chicken casserole and fish tacos with all the fixings. Students in the culinary arts program at the campus provided baked cookies to give to the families.

During their visit, the students visited with the children. They shared coloring books, crayons, stickers and Little Peeps.

Communities In Schools is an organization dedicated to keeping kids in school and helping them succeed in life. CIS places site coordinators in participating schools. They determine the students’ needs and provide resources to help them succeed in the classroom and in life. The organization also has partners that help make the program a success. CIS strives to provide the resources needed to help students succeed.
