Dr. Torres Families,

What a paws-itively incredible week! Thanks to your generosity and the leadership of our Raptor Student Ambassadors, we collected over 60 donation items for the Humane Society of El Paso. 🐾❤️🐶

Our Student Ambassadors greeted families each morning, spread the word through student-created flyers, and led this service project with confidence and heart. Because of your support, they were able to see what it means to turn kindness into action. ☀️

Next week, a representative from the Humane Society of El Paso will be collecting items and visiting our ambassadors to share how the donations will help animals in our community and to personally thank them for their efforts. We are excited for our students to see the real impact of their leadership.

The Student Ambassador Program is designed for 3rd–5th grade students who are ready to grow as campus leaders through service, responsibility, and community involvement. If you have a future 3rd, 4th, or 5th grader who may be interested in joining next year, please keep an eye out for an informational meeting toward the end of the school year. 📲

Thank you, Raptor families, for rallying together and showing that Raptor Pride truly has heart. Every item collected represents kindness in action.🐶💛

This is the final call to submit your pet photos for National Love Your Pet Day! 🐾

Thank you to everyone who has already completed the survey and sent in their photos — we truly appreciate it!

We’ve noticed that some surveys were submitted without a photo attached. If that’s you, please email your pet’s photo as soon as possible.

If you haven’t submitted your photo yet, please email it by tomorrow morning to ensure your pet is featured. We don’t want to miss anyone!

We can’t wait to celebrate all of your amazing pets! 🐶🐱

Dear Torres Families,

As our Animal Community Drive with the Humane Society of El Paso comes to a close, we want to sincerely thank you for your generosity and support. 🙏❤️🐾

Our Raptor Student Ambassadors have proudly represented our campus each morning, greeting families and collecting donations with enthusiasm and kindness. Your participation has helped make this experience powerful and memorable for our student leaders.

Tomorrow is the final opportunity to contribute. Donations, even used blankets, may be brought to the Sweetwater drop-off area before the first bell.

Thank you for helping our Raptors lead with compassion and purpose. We are truly grateful for your partnership and support.

With appreciation,
Dr. Torres Elementary 🐾💙

Torres Families,

Our Raptor Student Ambassadors have been soaring into service all week in partnership with the Humane Society of El Paso, and tomorrow morning will be extra special!

Before the first bell, our Raptor Mascot will be joining our Ambassadors at the Sweetwater drop-off area to greet families and help collect donations. Thank you immensely to the families who have donated thus far. 🦖🐾

We invite families to stop by, say hello, snap a quick photo, and help our student leaders continue making a difference. Donations are still being collected until Friday, and every item helps support animals in need.

Let’s pack the nest and show how Raptors rise when it’s time to serve. 💙🐾
