Thorndale

The city of Thorndale wants to give a huge thank you to RWE and McCarthy Construction. Thorndale Elementary School is incredibly grateful for the generous donation of time, money, and resources from RWE and McCarthy Construction. They went above and beyond by extending our playground patio area, purchasing brand new benches and picnic tables, installing 4 new basketball goals and 2 soccer goals for our students to enjoy, and donating $5,000 to support our school. Your kindness and support are making a big difference for our students, and we appreciate you more than words can say.

During the weekend of June 27-29, The Thorndale Volunteer Fire Department hosted their 34th annual BBQ Cook-off.

The passage of the state’s first voucher program means homeschool families in Texas will soon be eligible for up to $2,000 to use toward educational costs such as tutoring or curriculum. From 500,000 to 600,000 Texas children are being homeschooled — between 8% and 10% of all school-aged children, the Houston Chronicle reported.
