A roar of cheer and excitement suddenly filled the choir room Wednesday afternoon at the Schindewolf Intermediate School.
Sixth grader Kirstyn ran down the bleachers and over to Jon Weeks, greeting him with a big hug.
“I was dancing to 'The New Girl in Town' by the Hairspray musical and then Mr. Jon, the Houston Texans Cheerleaders and a big check came, and then I started crying,” said Kirstyn, sharing her infectious smile. “Tears of joy – that’s what it was. Tears of joy.”
Kirstyn’s choir teacher, Mrs. Buis, nominated Kirstyn for the quarterly #TexansCare campaign that encourages the Houston community to share impactful volunteer stories on social media with the chance of winning proceeds from the Houston Texans Foundation.
