Enhance Student Performance

A Baytown, Texas, resident, Jeanne Shipp graduated from Lee College with a nursing degree. Jeanne Shipp is the owner and administrator of Hospitality Health ER, an organization that offers freestanding emergency rooms. She also started a partnership with the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District (GCCISD).

GCCISD established a meal program for its students so that it can ensure that students aren't worrying about food security. It can also help parents who are struggling to help their kids at school. GCCISD will offer breakfast and lunch throughout the 2021-2022 school year. School food programs are beneficial to students, as improved nutrition can help with attention and school performance. It also can result in improved classroom activity and behavior and can teach students to take care of themselves and eat healthy.

These programs send a strong message that the health and well-being of students are valued and considered a priority. By creating food programs, schools can influence even the national food systems and drive positive changes in consumer markets.

A supporter of her community, Jeanne Shipp and Patients Emergency Room have donated to the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District (Goose Creek CISD) Education Foundation.

The Goose Creek CISD Education Foundation provides resources that enrich teaching and opportunities that promote education excellence for students enrolled at school campuses within the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District (Goose Creek CISD) in Houston, Texas. An independently-organized nonprofit, the foundation operates for charitable purposes and directs its initiatives and funding according to three priorities.

This includes improving community involvement from civic organizations, individuals, and businesses, while another is facilitating skill development and achievement among Goose Creek CISD students. The Goose Creek CSID Education Foundation’s third priority involves acknowledging and encouraging staff excellence.

In support of the latter two priorities, the foundation manages programs that recognize academic achievement and teacher excellence. It also runs the Innovative Teaching Grant Program to motivate staff to excel and reward teachers who utilize innovative and creative instructional approaches. These grants provide financial aid for educational activities and programs that are not fully funded through the district’s normal operating budget.
