Paul Sternberg of Houston Donates Money to Rebuild Country Day School
HOUSTON, June 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Schools are sacred environments. The building might be mere brick and mortar, but what goes on within the halls is exemplary. Schools are where the future generations learn, develop, socialize and grow. These areas are supposed to be safe, innocent, and encouraging.
That is why when anything happens to a school; it is far more devastating than when it happens to any other building. Schools are supposed to be set apart; free from the struggles of the real world. Unfortunately, Hurricane Katrina did not make such a distinction.
Therefore, when Paul Sternberg of Houston learned about a campaign to rebuild Country Day. As an alumnus, he knew he had to help. Sternberg knew that he couldn't allow these students to be without a school. After everything they'd gone through, they needed a haven. Although living in Houston, Sternberg did all he could to help.
About Country Day School
Country Day School is a private school, which teaches grades pre-K to 12th grade. This school is non-sectarian and coeducational and known for fostering the minds of children throughout their developmental years. The curriculum encourages free-thinkers and allows children to learn at their own pace, in their own way.
Founded in 1929, the school is a true Louisiana gem. The group of parents who started the school did so to ensure their children had the best education possible. They were unhappy with the status quo of traditional, as well as private schools at the time and decided to create their own. This show of independence and aspiration for greatness has continued throughout the decades. Ergo, these qualities are a source of pride for Country Day. That pride is echoed by each of the students who discover their own potential, within the beautiful 14-acre campus.
