The program pairs Waco High School, University High School, Rapoport Academy, La Vega High School, Midway High School and Harmony Science Academy students with business leaders to foster mentoring relationships that educate and expose students to various business fields. LEAD Mentors are committed to the development of students with leadership potential who need guidance and encouragement towards the pursuit of higher education and career goals, which in turn ensures greater employability and quality of life. LEAD mentors are expected to meet with their students at least twice monthly with at least one of these meetings at a business tour that the chamber coordinates. Students are mentored by business professionals with similar aspirations and interests. Seniors in the program can apply for the Bradley Ray Hulse $20,000 Memorial Scholarship that is awarded at the annual scholarship banquet. The LEAD program will begin its ninth year in August 2015 and is proud of its 100 percent graduation rate with all students having gone onto some form of higher education. Currently 141 students and 71 mentors are in the program. “With the addition of La Vega High School this summer our hope is to find mentors in close proximity to the school,” said LEAD director Rachel Martinez.

Caritas store in Bellmead hosts grand re-opening The Caritas Store at 3016 Bellmead Drive hosted a ribbon cutting and grand re-opening June 19. The event was attended by the Bellmead Chamber of Commerce and supporters. The newly renovated store sells clothing, household goods, Baylor spirit items and seasonal decor. Gently used and new items are donated to be resold with profits going to support the mission of Caritas. Caritas of Waco is a nonprofit charity organization founded in 1967 by the Austin Diocese of the Roman Catholic Church but has been an independent ecumenical agency since 1979. Caritas offers food, clothing, household items and travel to anyone, regardless of race, age, sex, ethnicity or location. Caritas is supported through various faith, civic and service organizations, charitable foundations, area businesses and individuals. Community volunteers are vital to the making Cartias a fully functioning organization that reaches the community in several levels. “The volunteers help us save money and put money back into helping others,” said Don Taylor, retail operations manager at the Caritas store in Bellmead. “We’re becoming more Caritas Store in Bellmead 3016 Bellmead Drive Open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday - Saturday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday Caritas-Waco.org (254) 799-0777 of a variety of store, and we are gearing ourselves into more concise categories of ceramics, furniture, antique, clothing, artwork and décor,” he said. “We’re trying to be more of cross store that a little bit of everything—electronics, TVs, boom boxes, VCRs. H-E-B donates some of this stuff to us.” The store strives to provide quality merchandise at a good price, added Taylor. “We have good deals, good prices and all of our items are checked and cleaned before we put them out for sale.” Recent changes to the store include a new point-ofsale system and new signs throughout to clearly mark merchandise for shoppers. “We repainted the store and added 40 new display tables. We revamped the stock rooms and the bathrooms with new vanities, toilets and floors,” said Taylor. The ramp for deliveries was rebuilt, and the all the light fixtures redone. The store is part of the Caritas system by supporting the main warehouse with clothing. “We sometimes help people with their electricity bill and their rent and provide vouchers for clothing. Everything is funneled back into the programs,” he said. “Anything we do in the thrift stores directly goes back into everything caritas does in the community. We’re tyring to help the community in any way we can.” The food pantry at 15th Street and Mary Avenue in Waco is a major part of of the services that Caritas provices. “We have a vegetable program. They actually have a day where people can come through and they just give it away to them. They don’t have to go through the system. They offer this when they have the stockpiles,” said Taylor. They main system is based on the non-perishable foods. Caritas is also planning a Christmas in July at the Franklin Avenue and Bellmead locations and the warehouse in Robinson. “We have a lot of Christmas stuff. We’re going to put out Christmas stuff and have Santa Claus and sno cones July 19 at Bellmead, July 18 at 3116 Franklin CARITAS Page 9 Bellmead Police Department hiring Code Enforcement / Animal Control Supervisor City of Bellmead Employment Opportunities Position: Code Enforcement/Animal Control Officer Salary: $13.50 -$15 DOQ Deadline: Open until filled How to Apply: Complete City of Bellmead application, release of information forms, and complete the TCOLE application, located on the City Website at www. bellmead.com .

At the 2003 Employee Awards Assembly, La Vega began the practice of awarding the ball to an individual or group who have made an impact on getting things done to help move LVISD toward the “goal line.” The LVISD Child Nutrition Department was selected this year because they have embraced the federal and state nutritional guideline changes made during the last couple of years and successfully implemented two new federal programs allowing all of La Vega students to eat free breakfast and lunch and provide a free afternoon meal for our after school ACE and tutored students. Dave Thiel with Aramark is the Director of Child Nutrition Services. This year’s accomplishments include: • Served 649,334 breakfast and lunch meals • Served 40,162 meals through the first full year of the after school meal program • Provided food samples to educate and motivate students to try different food types • Awarded a $500 grant from Aramark for having the most student survey response in Aramark’s south region • Cafeteria managers participated in leadership book studies the last two year and have shown motivation, grown as leaders on their campuses and continue to strive to improve The La Vega ISD Nutrition Department receives the 2015 Carrying the Ball award. in leading their teams in a positive direction and working toward their mission of providing the best nutritional food and services to our La Vega students and staff • Held a successful annual Future Chef Culinary Competition at LVISHPMC • LVHS Chef Team finalists participated in a regional chef competition this spring at Baylor • Implemented the first mobile summer meal service program in four neighborhoods CARITAS from Page 4 Ave. and July 20 at the warehouse in Robinson 620 N.

We’re going to have tables of just Christmas stuff and Christmas music playing,” said Taylor. “We have pre-lit trees, and we even a huge eight-foot wreath. We go to a lot of the estate sales. We have a lot of the older stuff like Snoopy lights. Some of them are antiques.” The store is also planning to hold a sale each month. All three Caritas locations accept donations, but the preferred drop off point is the warehouse in Robinson. “It’s just a huge opportunity to help everybody,” said Taylor. Bookmobile…Sailing into Summer Reading La Vega ISD is hosting a community bookmobile this summer. The bookmobile will make stops with books available for checkout in conjunction with the La Vega ISD Lunch Bus Express on Thursdays through July 30. The Bookmobile will be at the following locations: Concord Baptist Church 4412 Concord & Crockett Street 10:30 to 11 a.m. La Vega Community Church 1000 Ashleman & Latimer 11:10 to 11:40 a.m. OakLawn Baptist Church 2105 Behren Cr. & Queen Ct. 11:50 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. Brame Park Oak Grove Dr. & Shelton St. 12:30 to 1 p.m. All community members, ages birth through adult, are invited to come on board to select books from our lending library. Books should be returned to the bookmobile at the reader’s convenience. La Vega ISD is committed to the mission of utilizing all resources to provide learning opportunities, tools, progressive technology and guidance to enable all students to become productive citizens and life-long learners. Each school year, when we return from summer vacation, we notice a decline in our student reading levels from the end of the previous school year. The research is clear that children who do not read during the summer can lose up to three months of reading progress and that loss has a cumulative, long-term effect. In an effort to combat reading loss, we will be supplying books at all levels for summer reading. This is an opportunity for our entire community to be part of the solution to the summer reading loss problem. The mobile lending library will operate on the honor system, whereby no penalties or fines will be assessed for lost or overdue books. The purpose of the bookmobile is to keep books in the hands of our students and to cultivate a culture of literacy in our community. We are hoping that families will come on board to choose books together. We have been blessed by donations from community members, area churches, and LVISD faculty and staff members to supply our bookmobile with gently used books. This effort has truly become a labor of love! We hope you will join in the fun as we kick off our La Vega ISD Bookmobile.
