At GiGi\u2019s Playhouse Houston, we are proud to be a place where passion meets purpose\u2014and few exemplify that better than our volunteer Robert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert is a retired educator who dedicated over 40 years to teaching and school leadership\u2014eight as a teacher and twenty-five as a principal. Even in retirement, his commitment to helping others has never slowed. For the past 12 years, Robert has continued giving back through volunteer work, including time at a community health clinic, a women\u2019s recovery center, and by teaching parenting classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the past eight months, Robert has been a cherished member of the GiGi\u2019s Playhouse Houston family. Volunteering during our adult programs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays\u2014and occasionally joining us on Saturdays for children\u2019s programs like LMNOP\u2014Robert brings a wealth of experience, compassion, and creativity to every session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGetting to know these wonderful participants is a continuous blessing,\u201d Robert shared. \u201cThe days I am at the Playhouse give me so much enjoyment and love. I am always excited to plan new and exciting activities to share together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a former principal who often oversaw special education programs, Robert\u2019s deep understanding of inclusive learning environments enriches the experience for our participants. His energy, dedication, and joyful spirit have made a lasting impact on our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you, Robert, for the joy you bring and the love you share. We\u2019re so grateful to have you as part of our GiGi\u2019s Playhouse Houston family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
