HUMBLE, Texas – We’re celebrating our local educators with an inspiring after-school program out of Humble ISD. Dr. Andrea Barela started the after-school program Student Council AGENTS to give students the tools they need to improve and give back to their communities.
Barela’s colleagues Kathryn Henson and Sherry Grimes, both fifth grade teachers at Lakeshore Elementary in Humble ISD, are proud to work with Barela on the AGENTS program and are inspired by Barela’s idea and work ethic regularly.
“I think that the word that best describes Dr. Barela is learner. She is always learning more and she loves to share the new things that’s she’s learned with me,” said Henson. “It’s exciting to see how passionate she is about learning.”
All proceeds go to NEWSED. There will be music, folklorico dance, food and drink specials. Join us!
Cinco de Mayo will return at Civic Center Park in 2022!
Dear Community,
Last year we announced the canceling of our beloved Cinco de Mayo Festival due to social gathering restrictions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. While in recent months we have seen tremendous advances made through vaccinations and the normalizing of mask wearing and other measures we regret that 2021 is not the right time to bring back the festival. We fear that the virus is still too prevalent, and the health and safety of our community is the most important thing.
