Connecting with the Community

SILVER STARS TOUR

WE LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE OUR FACILITES AND PROGRAMS TO OUR SENIOR CITIZENS.

One of the greatest assets of any community is the senior generation. Prosper ISD is committed to connecting with all stakeholders including the Senior Citizens in the community. This year Prosper ISD hosted its first Silver Stars Tour. This experience provided an opportunity for this amazing group of citizens to tour a few of the Prosper ISD campuses and enjoy performances by a variety of student groups.

The inaugural Silver Stars tour was on September 14th, 2021. Tour participants were treated to breakfast in the community room and a gift from the district that included a “Silver Wings Club Card” which is a Senior Citizen card providing free access to any district sponsored events at home. Throughout the tour, various Prosper ISD School Board members dropped in to introduce themselves and answer questions from the attendees.

After breakfast the group moved to the field at Children’s Health Stadium for an introduction from Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Holly Ferguson, and PISD Board members Kelly Cavender, Bill Beavers, and Drew Wilborn. The group enjoyed performances by the Prosper High School Talonettes and the Prosper High School Mighty Eagle Band Percussion section before touring the Press Box at Children’s Health Stadium.

Participants then boarded a bus to travel to Prosper ISD’s newest high school campus, Rock Hill High School where they were joined by PISD Board members Debra Smith and Dena Dixon and treated to a mini-concert by the RHHS Varsity Orchestra before touring the campus. The Silver Stars tour finished at Reeves Elementary where they were greeted by 2nd graders, toured the campus, and enjoyed a student music and dance performance.

The district plans to make this connection opportunity a tradition with another tour planned for the spring.
