Five-minute Friday

Comfort High School

December 13, 2024

A few things from this week:

First Comfort Promise Graduate

Comfort Promise is an Optional Flexible School Day Program (OFSDP) which allows districts to provide flexible hours and days. The goal of the program is to improve graduation rates for students who are in danger of dropping out of school, have dropped out, or are behind in core subject courses.

Sydney Fischer is our first graduate from Comfort Promise!

On December 7th the following students participated in the annual Region 29/32 Band auditions at Fredericksburg High School:

Elizabeth Mulliniks, Abigail Mulliniks, Mauricio Guia, Cassandra Alt, Rhett Pankratz, Ethan Neri, Isaiah Thompson, Izekiel Valero and Eden Bates.

Believe it Foundation

William McGinnis, Program Director for the Believe It Foundation, has again generously donated adaptive bicycles to the Hill Country Special Education Co-op for us to share with CISD students with special needs. "Andrew McAllister founded the Believe It Foundation in 2008 to enrich the lives of physically challenged children by fostering inclusion in shared experiences with their peers who do not face the same limitations."
