Operation Empower develops “Skills for Life”

Curt Fendley, a fifth-grader at Crockett Intermediate School, recently spoke to the Lamar County Commissioner’s Court and the Paris City Council about his Future Problem Solving Community Service Project: Operation Empower.  Both the city and the county proclaimed October as Operation Empower Month.

Operation Empower was started by Fendley at the Paris Boys and Girls Club to give kids the opportunity to develop leadership skills and to learn the value of volunteering to make a difference in their community.  They have built a vegetable garden, tether ball sets, a gaga ball pit, and they helped paint the Downtown Food Pantry’s waiting area.

Fendley and Operation Empower recently received the Hometown Hero Award and a $1,000 grant from Modern Woodmen of America to assist with building picnic tables and installing additional backpack hooks for the growing attendance at the Boys and Girls Club. 

Fendley recently received the Daily Point of Light award, a national title, which is given to individuals who find innovative ways to meet community needs.

Community volunteers are needed to assist with Operation Empower projects at the Boys and Girls Club.  Please contact Debb Fleming at Crockett Intermediate School 903-737-7450 for more information.

Quick Tip Information

Quick Tip is a support system that allows students to communicate with school administrators. While the district already has many programs to help students deal with challenges such as bullying behaviors, stress, peer pressure, and family problems, Quick Tip helps break the code of silence often experienced by students because it allows them to report concerns to administrators anonymously.

Submit from App
SchoolMessenger Quick Tip app is available for both iOS (iTunes App Store) and Android devices (Google Play). Download SchoolMessenger Quick Tip App. When launching the app for the first time, you will be prompted to enter the school district code. The school district code is paristx.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is not a crisis line. In cases of emergency, the site will direct students to call 911!
