Cooper Community to Celebrate Construction of 19th Habitat Home
Dedication Ceremony Set for April 22 in Conroe
For the past 19 years, The John Cooper School has had the privilege to partner with Montgomery County Habitat for Humanity to help build a home for a family in need. All Cooper students have the opportunity to participate in this service project, a one-of-a-kind program.
A steering committee made up of Upper School students lead the project and are assisted by student, parent and faculty volunteers who work on construction of the home from August through March or April. Typically, Middle School students add color to the home in February and Lower School students plant and landscape as the final touches in March. The entire school community participates and supports fundraising efforts for the home.
This Sunday a very special dedication ceremony will take place at the new home (1214 Cedar Creek Drive in Conroe, Texas 77301). The new homeowners, family and friends will join with Habitat volunteers, steering committee students and members of the Cooper community to dedicate the home on Sunday, April 22 at 2 p.m.
