Forty years ago, America had the best high school graduation rates in the world. Though individual educators and school systems continue to shine, our country as a whole has fallen behind other industrialized nations. Each of us has been touched both personally and professionally by the educational challenges of our country. One thing is certain: People are deeply concerned. Parents, teachers, school administrators, businesses, civic leaders and communities are discussing their frustration with America's education system.
When hundreds of children, adults and seniors make a difference, it is important to give them the recognition they deserve. That is exactly why staff and residents at Parkway Place, a senior living community in Houston, paused to give gifts and say thank you to all of their volunteers during National Volunteer Week, April 21-27. In addition, the community is always looking for more people to lend a helping hand. From school children who do crafts with residents in memory care to volunteers with therapy dogs who come out weekly to church groups that hold services to a mother/daughter team who volunteers during special events on the weekend to high school students who give residents manicures, there are hundreds of people who touch the lives of the residents at Parkway Place.

Choate, a former teacher who had stepped away to raise her own kids, was pitched the idea to start a Primrose School franchise in northwest Oklahoma City. Her sister-in-law, Ashley Hughes, convinced her to visit a school near Atlanta and it was a trip that opened Choate’s eyes to what running a Primrose School could be like.
