Stockard Students are Wild About Zoo Careers

The Thriving Minds After School program at Stockard Middle School is taking part in a pilot program with the Dallas Zoo that introduces participants to a variety of zoological careers. Once a week, a zoo educator visits the campus to discuss with students available career options—everything from veterinary medicine and horticulture to graphic design and construction. In addition, students get an up-close look at a variety of animals, including an armadillo, hedgehog and snake. Both Big Thought and the Dallas Zoo hope to expand the program to more Thriving Minds campuses soon.

Dallas Cowboy Gerald Sensabaugh Volunteers at Junkins Elementary

Dallas Cowboy free safety Gerald Sensabaugh volunteered in the Read Out program yesterday afternoon at Junkins Elementary.  He read Fishing in the Air and talked to students about how fishing has helped him as an athlete on and off the field.  Our community is fortunate to have professional athletes who truly care about giving back!
