Last week, we were so honored to welcome Jim Brickman, Co-Founder, CEO & Director of JBGL Builder Finance, LLC — a Green Brick Partners — to our REACH classroom. As a generous donor to our program, Mr. Brickman came to see firsthand the plans for the kitchen remodel happening this summer.

This isn't just a renovation. It's a space where our students will learn real-world life skills — from meal prep to financial planning to collaboration — all rooted in who we're raising them to be … leaders!

We are so grateful for partners like JBGL Builder Finance, LLC, who believe in our kids and invest in giving them the tools to thrive. When the community comes alongside a school, incredible things get built — literally. 🙌

We can't wait for our students to step into this space and start bringing their dreams to life this August!

The effort, which began with a student-run booth at the Waxahachie Christmas Parade, grew into a remarkable story of community connection, generosity, and a shared commitment to student independence.
