s we enter this year’s holiday season, our thoughts turn to the blessings we have received this year. Cy-Fair community leaders share their reflections, reminders that despite the pandemic, we have many things for which to be grateful.
Dr. Mark Henry, Ed.D. Leslie Martone
Superintendent Cy-Fair Independent School District “Although 2020 has been a challenging year, I am thankful for my family. Since Cindy and I moved to Cy-Fair in 2011, we have gone from zero to seven grandchildren, and they all live in the Cy-Fair community – a real blessing. I am also thankful for my school family. Throughout this crisis, they have supported our students and families with love and care. I am truly blessed to have two wonderful families – home and school.”
IOM President Cy-Fair Houston Chamber of Commerce “I am so thankful for this amazing community that I live in and I choose to raise my family in. We have amazing folks that live in Cy-Fair that really understand what giving back is all about. Hurricane Harvey and COVID has brought out the best in our community. We have seen businesses helping businesses and neighbor helping neighbor. Most of all I am thankful for my health and my beautiful family and friends. And last but not least, I am thankful for my faith! God is our provider, comforter and Father of all!”
Jean Dreyer Founder and Executive Director of Homeless Initiatives Cy-Fair Helping Hands “As I look back over my life, I see that God is faithful to provide what is needed to those who love Him. I am forever grateful, thankful, and blessed that God provides what is necessary for us to continue His work through donations from individuals, businesses, organizations, and churches. How great is our God!” 6 December 2020 | January 2021
