It is United Way campaign season again in Denton County and I had the pleasure of speaking to the campaign team leaders at Presbyterian Hospital in Denton this afternoon.  I was impressed by the very cool plans they have this year in their campaign including a fantasy football theme with a Prom King and Queen!  I firmly believe that it all starts with great leadership.  Stan Morton talks the talk and walks the walk.  I have great admiration for his work and generosity through the United Way in our community.

During the session, one of our generous Communities In Schools of North Texas mentors from our dropout prevention program at Borman Elementary in Denton ISD shared her experiences as a CISNT volunteer mentor.  We are lucky to have her support, before coming to Texas she was a CIS of North Carolina volunteer mentor and tutor.  What a great example of the United Way spirit and the difference one person can make in the life of an at-risk student.

From all of us at Communities In Schools of North Texas, thank you to the great people at Presbyterian Hospital in Denton for your outstanding example of Living United!
