I love living in a small town. There are about 3000 people within the city limits. Lots of homes outside the city with acreage at great prices.
The people are friendly and there is great community spirit ( especially on Friday nights in the fall!)
We have one elementary school, an Intermediate school, Middle school and High School.
There are a great group of teachers many of whom live in Van Alstyne, go to Church here, shop at the small grocery shop.
I have a child in the Middle School and one in the High school.
I have served on the PTA board for the last 2 years at the middle school, this year I am secretary of the Education Boosters at the High School.
Last year I was the volunteer coordinator.
It was sometimes difficult to find people to help and it was often the same parents that were there.
This is because many parents have full work schedules and it is difficult to get off work.
As a Realtor I am feel blessed that I can take time out of my day to help at the school, I can work out my own schedule.
My challenge to you is get involved with your community. Find your passion and volunteer some time to help others.
If you cannot think of anything talk to your local PTA or booster clubs, I know they will be able to use your help somewhere.
Education is Important!!
Be involved in your community
