In Your Neighborhood: ATPE Stories from Your Communities

Texas A&M International

ATPE college student and student teacher members are the future of our organization. Texas A&M International University gave members the final push they needed to make it through the fall semester with some added sugar. The group held an event at Marble Slab where members enjoyed a frosty treat, received a swag bag full of goodies, and were able to unwind before finals!

Region 10 ATPE

ATPE cares, and Region 10 ATPE wants the greater Dallas community to know it! The region hosted a pop-up event at a local barbecue restaurant where Region 10 ATPE members could mingle and celebrate the final end-of-the-year push. During this event, members were encouraged to donate items such as toilet paper, toothbrushes, and other hygiene products to be given to Vogel Alcove, a nonprofit that supports homeless students in the Dallas area.

Houston ATPE

When Houston ISD held a job fair in November, Houston ATPE showed up ready to spread its wings and recruit the best educators. Houston ATPE volunteer Hattie Mae White handed out coffee, donuts, and important ATPE membership information. The table featured a butterfly canvas that was a beautiful addition to the set-up!

Ysleta ATPE

Every year, Ysleta ATPE holds a toy drive for the children at the Child Crisis Center of El Paso—and this year was another success! Ysleta ATPE members came out to support their local community and give back to those in need during the holiday season. The toy drive also gave Ysleta ATPE members the opportunity to get together, enjoy a tasty meal, and win some awesome prizes.
