Due to COVID-19, events that the HISDEF would normally host as fundraisers were unable to take place, such as the Daddy-Daughter Dance. The pandemic hasn’t stopped them from giving back to our students and staff! HISDEF awarded over $13,000 in classroom grants at the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year which allowed teachers to utilize items earlier in the school year. Laura Popp and Amanda Rounsavall were awarded scholarships for continuing their education and the top 10% of seniors will still receive scholarships upon graduation. Campus grants will be given closer to the end of the school year and are usually for larger ticket items that can be ultilized by the whole campus. Pam Hamilton, HISDEF President, said that COVID-19 has resulted in decreased revenue for the organization and the disappointment of not being able to have fundraising events that have become highly anticipated in the community. “Despite these trials, we have been able to continue giving back to our students and schools,” Hamilton said. “Through the continued support of HISD staff and the community, we will persevere and strive to move forward in our mission to support HISD teachers and students.” As well as the annual staff drive and community donation drive, the organization did receive a large donation from Atmos Energy that will go toward Pre-K-3rd grade English-Language Arts.

  • The Texas Daily Creates Unique Program Format Asks TV Viewing Audience to Participate Via Social Media
    For immediate release The Texas Daily Creates Unique Program Format Asks TV Viewing Audience to Participate via Social Media ADDISON, TEXAS (Oct. 8, 2012)—The Texas Daily, which airs from 8-9 a.m. on weekdays, is in a category all its own. A hybrid of news, commentary and audience participation, KTXD-TV’s program is delivered by former DFW TV anchors. “Our research tells us that we are the only ones nationwide that have created this kind of program for our primary audience. One thing that makes it so unique is the emphasis on viewer participation. We want to engage with them on a deeper level – to provide a platform where they can truly be heard – and one of the ways we’re doing that is through social media,” said Phil Hurley, EVP and COO of London Broadcasting, parent company of KTXD-TV. The primary audience of The Texas Daily is made up of Baby Boomers, a generation that’s increased its social media usage by more than 50 percent in the past two years, as reported by BoomerCafé, a popular online magazine created for and by Boomers. Citing a recent social media report by Experian Marketing Services, BoomerCafé also says that Boomers as a whole “seek out more depth and substance behind news and information,” which is directly in-line with The Texas Daily’s planned content. “The Texas Daily provides news and seasoned context – something you don't see much on the air these days,” said Jeff Brady, host of The Texas Daily and a former WFAA-TV news anchor.
