Shlenker School’s bear hugs bring comfort to children in crisis
Noa Lador and Julian Stevens get their bear ready for donation.
By JUDY BLUESTEIN-LEVIN•
Houston firefighters from Station 68 got a great big bear hug from second-graders at The Shlenker School on Tuesday, March 30. It was the 24th year Shlenker students provided bears to first-responders to comfort children in crisis while they are being transported.
Students gave the bears directly to firefighters, who came to the day school on a ladder truck to pick up the gifts. While there, firefighters showed the students the jaws of life, fire hoses and firefighter gear. They also demonstrated fire safety details, such as stop, drop and roll.

“Everybody that came in and saw the counter said ‘oh, you should serve lunch.’ So after a year of that, we said ‘okay!’ And started serving lunches.”
Every day but Sunday, starting at 11 a.m., you can get freshly made soups, salads or sandwiches in no time at all.
PITTSYLVANIA Co., Va. â A new partnership between three community service pillars of the Pittsylvania County-Danville area will feed hundreds in southeastern Pittsylvania County, including the communities of Kentuck, Ringgold, Keeling and Sutherlin.
The Chatham Rotary Club, Kentuck Baptist Church and God s Storehouse have entered a revitalized partnership to kick-start food distribution in what they have identified as the neediest area in the county, Chatham Rotarian Alisa Davis told theÂ
Star-Tribune. The whole thing started with the Rotary Club when COVID-19 first hit. We made an emergency food distribution program in April and May to distribute food through the county. The whole county, all four districts, Davis said. This collaboration grew out of that â obviously, the Rotary Club is not a food distribution center.
