St. Mary’s Bazaar KING
Help Crown Daxton King - Support Houston's Pioneering Educational Legacy!
Meet Daxton - a determined first-grader whose eyes light up when he talks about his next science discovery or the amazing book his class just read. But what makes Daxton truly special isn't just his curiosity - it's his excitement to express himself and his unwavering determination to reach his fundraising goal.
Why St. Mary's Changes Everything
Since starting at St. Mary's, Daxton has blossomed. He bounces out of bed each morning, eager to learn something new with his friends. This isn't just any school - St. Mary's of the Purification is Texas's first African-American Catholic Montessori School, a groundbreaking institution that has been nurturing young minds in Houston's historic 3rd Ward for decades.
A Community That Builds Champions
St. Mary's doesn't just educate children - it transforms them. Through their unique blend of Montessori methods and traditional elementary education, they're developing the spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical growth of students from across Greater Houston. Daxton is living proof of their mission in action.
When you support Daxton's campaign, you're investing in:
A pioneering educational model that serves our diverse Houston community
A vital 3rd Ward institution that has shaped generations
Hands-on learning that sparks curiosity in young scientists and storytellers
A place where every child's potential is recognized and nurtured
Our Goal: $1,500+ to Crown a King and Fund a Legacy Daxton is determined to not just meet the $1,000 threshold - he wants to exceed it! Every dollar toward his goal directly supports the innovative programs that make St. Mary's a beacon of educational excellence in our community.
