We hope you are staying safe and warm! While we are currently not in session due to the inclement weather, we want to warm your heart by introducing the children that we work so hard for!
Jacob is a 4th grader and Park Lane student who loves recess at Heart House. He is always eager to play with his Heart House friends and draw. Recently, he excelled at writing a story inspired by a picture of a cloud. He was so proud of his story about heaven that he even read it to his class!
Follow us to learn more about who we are, and stay tuned for next weekβs #wearehearthousewednesday
This week, all of our sites celebrated spring with Field Day! The best part about Heart House Field Day is that every activity includes an aspect of STEAM! We always try to have fun while learning!
Over the course of our program week, the students made tie dye masks, giant bubble blowers, flower pots with theirs own seeds, plates for balloon tennis, and colorful rocks! They also competed in an egg obstacle course around the entire playground and played a hula hoop lasso game where they use a hula hoop to get as many balls as they could in the center!
While there is no program next week, we will still be here to share all about Heart House! We wish you all a happy Spring Break!
We are back for another #wearehearthousewednesday!
Dania is an 8th grade and Pineland student who has attended Heart House for over a year now. She is sad that she only has three months left (until she goes off to high school) because she will miss activities and art with her friends that she has made at Heart House. Eventually though, she will become a veterinarian, and we cannot wait to see her achieve her goals!
This collage is her art activity for last weekβs group art therapy session. Pineland students were asked to describe and draw how they felt about their day. Even though Dania was tired from doing homework, she was so grateful for the beautiful sky and weather.
Tune in next week to meet another one of our students!
Many Heart House families still do not have water after their pipes burst in their apartment homes following Winter Storm Uri. But we are deeply grateful for the following partners for providing support to families via bottled water, personal hygiene wipes and/or buckets to transport water: @cityofdallas Trusted World @dallaspubliclibrary Vickery Park Branch @northwestcommunitycenter Who Is Hussain, Texas

For this weekβs #wearehearthousewednesday, we are introducing Moses!
Moses is a 2nd grader and Park Lane student who loves the fun and games at Heart House. His favorite activity is the egg obstacle course at Field Day! After dropping the egg a few times, he was so excited when he finished the course that he did it time and time again!
While it is Spring Break, Moses is relaxing at home, but he loves school, especially when he gets to wear his basketball pajamas! He could not wait to share about his 100s he gets in math and science.
Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to keep in touch with our students and staff!
Happy Wednesday! That means itβs time for another #wearehearthousewednesday!
Christina is a 4th grader and Park Lane student who absolutely loves the people at Heart House. In fact, her favorite thing about Heart House is the teachers! While she also loves the activities at Heart House, her favorite thing to do outside of the program is to watch anime.
During Spring Break, Christina went on a Love and Lead session with Heart House to the Dallas Arboretum! She strengthened her bonds with her teachers and classmates while celebrating the spring bloom.
To get to know the teachers that Christina loves so much and more students like Christina, follow us on Facebook and Instagram!
