Class of 2024

The LMC Class of 2024’s class project supported Hope's Bridge, a non-profit organization serving foster and adoptive families. Recognizing the unique needs of teens in foster care, the class collectively focused on creating a dedicated space within Hope's Bridge - a "teen closet" area. This space aims to address the challenges faced by teens.
Through community fundraising efforts, the class secured funds and donations (including clothes and salon products) to establish the teen area, which offers a welcoming environment for teens to "shop" for new clothing. Additionally, the space features a salon area designed to provide assistance with hair care.
The salon space serves a dual purpose: to enhance the self-esteem and confidence of foster teens to have their hair professionally cared for, and to provide hair education to parents whose children have different needs than their own. By equipping foster parents with knowledge and skills, the project aims to promote inclusivity and ensure that all children receive appropriate care. The class received recognition for their efforts from the City of Conroe, The Woodlands Township, Senator Brandon Creighton, and Montgomery County Commissioner's Court.
