Last week, we were honored to celebrate See to Succeed’s longstanding partnership with the Houston Independent School District (HISD) and the support of our Visionary Sponsor, ExxonMobil.

During an appreciation celebration on Monday, we welcomed Alvin Abraham, ExxonMobil Global Manager of Corporate Giving and their Corporate Giving team for a tour of a high- impact See to Succeed mission with capacity to provide full eye exams to 275 students each day. We were delighted to be joined by Houston Independent School District Board of Managers members, Ric Campo, Angela Lemond Flowers and Janette Garza Linder.

Dean Michael Twa and Associate Dean Andrew Archila of the UH College of Optometry, a founding See to Succeed partner, presented the program with two child bicycles for STS students assembled by UHCO optometry students - just in time for the holidays!

Thanks to these incredible partnerships, over 44,000 HISD students have received eye exams and glasses that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to get, boosting attendance and academic success 👓📚

Saturdays are Sweet! Thank you to our mighty volunteers who helped us harvest 54 pounds of sweet potatoes. 🍠

The produce will bring the flavor of fall to our neighborhood senior center and area community pantries. It’s absolutely amazing what abundance a few small potato slips from Urban Harvest can yield.

Thank you everyone who contributes to this nurturing space!

It’s National Vision Awareness Month, and the Houston Health Foundation encourages you to pay attention to your children’s eye health and ensure they receive regular eye examinations. Focused eyes focus the mind.

The American Optometric Association recommends:

• Infants should receive an in-person comprehensive eye and vision assessment between 6 and 12 months of age for the prevention and/or early diagnosis and treatment of sight-threatening eye conditions and to evaluate visual development.

• Preschoolers should receive at least one in-person, comprehensive eye exam between the ages of 3 and 5 to prevent or diagnose any condition that may have long-term effects.

• School-aged children (T to 4G years) should receive a comprehensive in-person exam prior to entering the first grade and annually thereafter.
