As you may know, the City of Houston is redoing the Alief Community Center. They are seeking input from local members of the community. From our understanding they will be eliminating the Alief Henington Regional Library (Which they JUST renovated recently) so that they can consolidate municipal facilities under one roof. That being said, it seems we need to make opinions HIGHLY known that we are expecting a better library space than before. Please help spread the link below to get as much support as possible, so that our children won’t be short-changed by this measure.

Survey for IMD Alief Community Center

In case you were not able to join the second Alief Neighborhood Center community meeting earlier this month, we invite you to share your feedback via a survey which can be found in multiple languages:

ENGLISH
SPANISH: Toma Nuestra Encuesta
MANDARIN: 请帮忙填写调研问卷
VIETNAMESE: Xin vui lòng điền bản khảo sát

Your feedback is critical to help the City of Houston and design team deliver a Center that accommodates the needs of the community.

The new Alief Community Center will house the services of the Houston Health Department, Houston Parks and Recreation Department and Houston Public Library in one space. The Center, which sits in the 37-acre Alief Park, will also consolidate the Hennington-Alief Regional Library and the park’s existing community center, both of which are currently outdated facilities.

Survey link(s) will close Monday, April 1.

STAAR testing will be here soon. To help relieve some of the stress and anxiety of testing, which the Kid President pep talk video. We can Rock this Test!
