Rosenberg Richmond Helping Hands, Inc. is a non-profit organization formed by area churches over twenty years ago that helps people in crisis by providing basic needs on a short term basis. Their goal is to provide assistance until an individual or family can become self sufficient. Until recently their ‘home-base’ had been, well, in a home.
Their location on Morton Street had limited space, but the location was sufficient to serve people in need. However, clients often had to walk between two buildings to get their food and clothes. Helping Hands Director, Nancy Brown expressed, “We were thankful for (the first location), but the organization needed more space and an updated facility to meet the demands of its clients.”
So, about a year ago they decided to start planning relocation to a bigger facility. In order to make the move possible they needed to raise a good deal of money. Thankfully the City of Richmond and Richmond’s Development Corporation came to their aid, each providing $55,000 and $100,000 respectively. The City of Rosenberg and their Development Corporation contributed another $12,500 and $50,000 respectively, and they were well under way. Soon they attracted the attention of the George Foundation which guaranteed a $45,000 matching grant, and Helping Hands did the rest of the work to get donations to meet this goal, raising the remaining $90,000 needed.

McNeill Elementary School Principal Ken Davis is the Texas 2009 Elementary Level National Distinguished Principal. McNeill Elementary School serves elementary school age children living in Lakemont.
Davis is described as an incredible role model who believes in every child, every day and although he is highly admired and respected by his students and colleagues, he was surprised with the recent announcement that was made before more than 2,300 educators at the Texas Elementary Principals & Supervisors Association’s (TEPSA) Summer Conference.
Davis received a check for $10,000, and will represent Texas at the National Distinguished Principals program held in Washington, D.C. in October.
“Ken’s leadership skills are evident in all of his work,” TEPSA Executive Director Sandi Borden said. “Whether leading his campus, working in his school district or serving as a TEPSA volunteer, he exemplifies the spirit of a true learning leader.”
Leading a melting pot of 27 cultures, Davis has created a school family that collaborates to achieve academic, social and behavioral goals for each child. Working diligently beside his staff, Davis empowers people to seek innovations, share ideas and implement best practices for students.
In Lamar CISD, Davis is known as a principal who will inquire about instructional programming, seek solutions regarding curriculum issues, share information with colleagues and serve as an advocate for students. Before opening McNeill this year Davis led Pink Elementary, from academically acceptable to exemplary.
Each year, Texas recognizes one National Distinguished Principal from the elementary level and one from the middle level. Hubenak Elementary principal Diane Parks was the Texas National Distinguished Principal in 2007.
Since 1917, TEPSA has served Texas principals and supervisors. TEPSA has more than 5,300 members. These administrators supervise more than 150,000 teachers who direct the activities of more than 2.3 million PreK-8 school children.
The announcement a part of the great news about the growing Lamar CISD.
Just last month, the district earned top honors in the H-E-B Excellence in Education Award and $100,000 that will benefit the district’s education foundation.
Noted for its outstanding student and teacher achievement and strong community support, LCISD serves school-age children in Lakemont. One of the district’s newest schools – McNeill Elementary opened last fall and is located just past the entrance of Lakemont.
Known for its location adjacent to the entrance of the Westpark Tollway, Lakemont features new homes priced from the $140,000s to the $300,000s by Lennar, J. Patrick Homes, Perry Homes and Brighton Homes. New decorated models are now open daily.
