"Look Great. Feel Great. Do Great." Oscar Garza borrows this mantra from his friend & fellow volunteer, Jason Hernandez, as they join Kim Hughes and several generous community donors for a Back to School event at Finch Elementary. Students and parents geared up for another successful year with free hair cuts and school supplies.

Celebrating 100 Years of Fanny Finch Elementary
See video: https://tinyurl.com/3umvrzvf
“Raise your hand if you were teaching back when chalkboards were considered high tech?”
That seems like a crazy question unless you are addressing the audience of a 100-year celebration, which was the case this past January for Finch Elementary. Current teachers and students along with former students and staff gathered to celebrate the school’s one hundredth anniversary of being named after the legendary educator, Fanny Finch.
