Monthly roundup of news from Lantana as published in The Cross Timbers Gazette.
Lantana Cares is a local 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was established in 2016 to empower residents of Lantana in the pursuit of beautification, education, and recreation within the community. The organization has been using grant funds in part from the Lantana Education/Charitable Foundation to help with multiple projects that improve the quality of life in Lantana.
Lantana Cares applied for and received a grant (extension) for the support they are proudly giving educators in the Lantana attendance zone.
Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT) is a place for educators to find the resources and inspiration they need to teach at their best. This site offers more than 3 million free and paid resources, created by educators who understand what works.
After a successful pilot program in fall 2021, Lantana Cares has continued to provide access to TpT from pre-K-12 Teachers at the five Denton ISD public schools (Adkins, Blanton, EP Rayzor, Harpool and Guyer); Harvest Christian Academy and Lantana resident homeschool parents.
Teachers within the Lantana attendance zone and homeschool educators residing in Lantana may apply for sponsored access to the supplemental curriculum materials they need. Find out more and apply at LantanaCares.org.
Lantana Cares is also working with the Lantana Community Association to host the Run Lantana 5k & 10k on Saturday, Sept. 30. Residents enjoy this family friendly event that will wind through the scenic trails & neighborhoods in the community. The race beneficiary this year is Denton County Emergency Services District #1. They will be onsite at the race participating or cooling off participants with a fire hose! Proceeds from the run will support the health & wellness program of firefighters at Station 513 in Lantana.
Physical activity is incredibly important for firefighters to ensure that they are always prepared to respond to any emergency at a moment’s notice. Two pieces of equipment that Run Lantana will support are the “Firesled” and “The Punisher” – both of which are used for physical conditioning and training to simulate real emergency rescues.
