Our sole mission is funding the Eanes ISD educators who make our district thrive #WeFundTeachers

☀ It's our honor to recognize #HonoraTeacher rec ☀ It's our honor to recognize #HonoraTeacher recipient Leslie Abbott, @bcebluejays Art teacher!

In Ms. Abbott’s bright, welcoming studio, Bluejays are free to soar creatively, embracing curiosity, color, and even “beautiful oopsies” as they explore, make, and respond to art.

Ms. Abbott isn’t just a beloved educator - she’s also a BCE parent whose two sons walked those same halls!

💬 The Jonna family writes about Ms. Abbott, "Thank you for cultivating Riya's love of art! Her favorite subject is art!"

Thank you, Ms. Abbott, for filling BCE with joy, imagination, and artistic wonder. @eanesisd

☀ Even though school's out for summer, our work ☀ Even though school's out for summer, our work honoring teachers is never done! Today, we're spotlighting Elizabeth Bassimakopolous, Valley View Elementary librarian.

Ms. Bassimakopolous just finished her 5th year at VVE and 13th year in education overall. Her path to VVE included work as a 4th grade teacher, middle school librarian, and even a short stint in a school library in Russia! A UT graduate, Ms. Bassimakopolous enjoys supporting her students in their journey to being lifelong readers.

Student Gray Allison writes about Ms. Bassimakopolous: "Thank you for being the best librarian and letting me check out 'Cool Cookies' every single week!" 

We're grateful for you, Ms. Bassimakopolous, and your caring for @eanesisd young readers!
