Dear Neighbors,
Spring is finally here and summer is just around the corner.
The neighborhood landscaping is starting to perk up. We will
be adding a few new items to spruce up the entries.
As most of you are aware the PID renewal, (more about it later
in the newsletter), is coming. You will hear and see a lot of
information about it. I encourage you to discuss the PID with
your neighbors and your PHA board. If you have any questions
don’t hesitate to send them to your board. If we don’t know the
answer we will find it. We look forward to seeing you at the
annual PID/Board meeting May10th at Brentfield Intermediate
Elementary.
We had a great turnout for the Creek clean-up. This year we
added an educational component to the clean-up and look

Richardson ISD Clothes Closet Located nearby at 970 Security Row, Richardson, TX 75081, this clothes closet allows children attending Richardson ISD schools who qualify based on need to shop. They are assisted by a volunteer and leave with a week’s worth of clothing including new pair of sneakers, a winter coat, toiletry bag and new sets of underwear and socks. You can drop off clean, in like-new condition and currently in fashion items on Mondays between 9:30am -11am. You can also volunteer to help either on Mondays with sorting donations or on Tuesdays with students who have appointments between 9:30am -2:30 pm. Each spring they also hold a Prom Dress Boutique, making the Prom special for teens who need assistance with dresses, shoes, and accessories. The annual Shoe-Shoe Train stocks the closet with new shoes each February. To learn more, contact your school Clothes Closet representative, or send an email to [email protected].
When students feel good about the way they are dressed then they can more easily focus on learning, growing and succeeding. The RISD Council of PTAs and its 54 member units are committed to helping students (pre-k through high school) in financially challenging situations gain clothing that they can comfortably and proudly wear. They operate solely on clothing and monetary donations from our school’s families and community. They are staffed exclusively by volunteers. RISD generously provides their department store like facility with 4 dressing rooms.
