Supporting Marble Falls Independent School District

Marble Falls is home to a superb school district that places an emphasis on empowering and developing students through engaging and relevant learning experiences. Across eight different schools, you’ll have comfort knowing that your child is receiving the best education needed to succeed. Supporting our local students and teachers is a priority for the Gregg Ranch team and we’ve found some great ways to volunteer, mentor and strengthen the Marble Falls Independent School District (MFISD).

#1. MFISD Education Foundation

The Marble Falls Education Foundation aims to benefit Marble Falls ISD students by providing scholarships, funding for educational programs and activities that aren’t normally funded by the district budget. Your donation helps to facilitate student development while recognizing the excellence of Marble Falls faculty and staff. You can become involved through volunteering or donating to this charitable organization.

#2. Reading Buddies

Get involved with the Reading Buddies program. In select Marble Falls ISD schools, including Marble Falls Elementary and Colt Elementary, you’ll spend quality time with a child each session for reading and mentorship.

#3. Join the PTA

As a school district that is built around a sense of community, Marble Falls parents have a volunteer initiative mindset. Every parent is unique and can bring something special to making a difference in the lives of their children. Each family is encouraged to give their time, resources and talents to the PTA of their school.

#4. Teacher Support

You can help support Marble Falls teachers by dropping off lunch, coffee and other snacks for them to enjoy! Your donations can make a big difference in a teacher’s day. Most schools accept packaged lunches, food and drinks as a pick-me-up for their teachers during the school year. Make sure to contact your local school’s main office beforehand.

It has been one year since Marble Falls Boy Scout Troop 254 raised the US and Texas flag for the first time ever at Gregg Ranch. To celebrate the occasion, we invited City and Pulte representatives to celebrate, as well as MFISD Superintendent Dr. Chris Allen. At the ceremony, Harvard Investments gave a $5,000 donation to the school district. Harvard presented it to Superintendent Chris Allen along with a copy of “Where the Red Fern Grows,” one of the Harvard team’s favorite books growing up. The donation signifies Gregg Ranch and Harvard’s commitment to the future of Marble Falls and the families and students that will be part of Gregg Ranch.

Dr. Chris Allen, Superintendent of Marble Falls Schools shared, “I’m so proud of our talented, hard-working students here in the MFISD and our dedicated faculty that create award-winning programs in which our students can thrive.”  He added, “we are incredibly grateful to Harvard Investment and Gregg Ranch for this donation.”
