Volunteer Appreciation Week

It’s Volunteer Appreciation Week. We’ll be celebrating our volunteers at our May 3^rd event, Celebrate: Honoring Volunteers in our Schools. We are inspired each week by the dedication of 1000+ classroom coaches and nearly 800 mentors who support Austin students, who know it really does matter. Thanks!

You Never Know
By Helen L. Marshall

You never know when someone
May catch a dream from you

You never know when a little word
Or something you may do
May open up the windows

Of a mind that seals a light
The way you love, may not matter at all
But you never know it might.

And just in case it could be
That another’s life, through you
Might possibly change for the better
With a broader and brighter view
It seems it might be worth a try
At pointing the way to the right
Of course it may not matter at all,
But then again…it might
