Floorcloth
To celebrate Historic Preservation Month, the docents at the Man House Museum worked on a project for the benefit of the museum. They created a floorcloth that will be placed in the entry hall of the Man House. Floorcloths are painted canvas, which served as a precursor to fabric rugs in Texas. Nine volunteers spent their Saturdays in May at the museum painting an elaborately designed cloth representative of the style that the Man family could have used in their home. The docents showed an interest in working on future group projects to use in the museum.

Jordan Higgins returned to the Parks & Recreation marketing team this summer after completing her freshman year at Loyola University in New Orleans. Her primary responsibility has been managing the logistics behind the 100 Hours of PLAY campaign, including tracking participants’ logged hours, prepping and working the weekly events, and handling all the resident interactions and feedback for the program, which has nearly 800 participants! Other duties included working outreach booths at city events and capturing photos or videos to create social content. Whatever the week had in store, from passing out popsicles to playing pickleball, Jordan has been hard at work with a smile on her face, and has been a welcome addition to the parks and recreation team.
Lauryn Bourget came to Nature Education from Tarleton University and hit the ground running as soon as she arrived! Her days included teaching summer camps, prepping materials and setting up programs, working community outreach booths at city events and, most importantly, introducing young minds to all things nature. The recreation division has loved getting to know Lauryn and appreciated all of her hard work this summer.
