PWC press release
A favorite annual project for the members of Pinnacle Women’s Club (PWC) is the Book Fair. The purpose of the Book Fair is to donate books to the Kindergarten and 1st grade students in the Malakoff ISD. This year, there were 202 students who each received five books. The age appropriate books were delivered shortly before the end of the school year so the students would have summer reading materials. The student’s books were distributed in book bags which had been donated by Lily Enterprises of Athens, the owners of McDonald’s in Malakoff and Athens.
The PWC members were especially delighted when they entered one of the 1st grade classrooms because the students stood and sang the “Happy, happy, happy” song while dancing. Other classes had made ‘thank you’ cards for the PWC members. This was an awesome and very much appreciated welcome!

From the blog of Superintendent Dr. Coy Holcombe
For the past several years, Eustace ISD has received the Gold Leadership Circle Award from the Texas Comptroller’s office for financial transparency. At the time, this was the highest level that could be attained. This year, the Comptroller introduced a Platinum Level that had even more challenging criteria. I am pleased to report that EISD was recently awarded The Leadership Circle Platinum Award by the Comptroller’s office. Out of a possible 22 points, EISD scored 21. If you have not visited the financial page on our website, I encourage you to take a few minutes and take a look at all the resources that are available.
