George Ranch to host Open House for Educators on Feb. 8
The historic George Ranch will be hosting an Open House for Educators on Sat., Feb. 8, 2014, and all HISD history teachers are invited! Come take a journey through our state’s history by following four generations of one Texas family dating back to the 1830’s.
The event will take place from 9:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. and highlights include: a tour of the facilities, sample activities at various locations, a cattle demonstration, and a quintessential 1930s bachelor house lunch of beef brisket, smokehouse sausage, beans, coleslaw, potato salad, and blackberry cobbler.
There is no charge for interested educators, but advance registration is required. And while families are welcome, only teachers will be provided with a free lunch (others can purchase one; prices are listed here). To reserve a spot, please contact Susan Rezeppa at 281-343-0218 ext. 220 or send an email to education@georgeranch.org.
