Impact Stories
Through an LEF Grant funded by Scheels, TCHS art teacher, Leigh Ann Richardson created a fun joint project between her high school art students and Camey Elementary students next door. Elementary students created original "monsters" with drawing and written descriptions and the high school students used the newly funded art supplies such as felt, thread, and sewing needles to bring the monsters to life.
Thanks to a scholarship from LEF and the FMHS PTSA, JP Lipari pursued civil engineering at UT Austin without the weight of financial stress. Prepared by LISD, he found academic success, meaningful friendships, and career affirmation through internships. Grateful for the support, Lipari now aspires to design equitable, transit-friendly cities that reflect his values and improve lives.
With support from an LEF grant, Michael Rowan’s wood manufacturing class at TECC-West rebuilt classroom work benches, gaining valuable real-world experience. Students collaborated like a professional shop team, developing technical, planning, and interpersonal skills. The project not only enhanced their workspace but also prepared them for future careers in woodworking and beyond.
