Partners in Education

Gorzycki is partnering with Waterloo IceHousefor Gorzycki Spirit Night.  Waterloo IceHouse will host Gorzycki at their establishment and give back to Gorzycki. Waterloo will donate a percentage of the Gorzycki proceeds taken in on Spirit Nights to Gorzycki. Make sure to tell your server you are with Gorzycki MS. 

Gorzycki and Austin Scoops, one of our new partners, are teaming up for a Double Good Deal over the Winter Break.  You can treat yourself and your loved ones to a Special Holiday Treat.  You can bring this flyer to Austin Scoops and receive 10% off your purchase + Austin Scoops will donate 10% of your total purchase to Gorzycki MS.  Hurry in as the offer expires January 4, 2010.

We want to thank one of our wonderful partners, and also a Gorzycki parent, Brenda Schmitt with Monogram Studio, for donating approximately 40 embroidered shirts with the Gorzycki logo. Brenda also works with various Gorzycki organizations and has enabled us to get t-shirts for our Tiger Dads at a reduced price.

A+ Federal Credit Union will be partnering with the school to make programs available for students to open savings accounts. They will have deposit days to enable them to make deposits without having to go to the branches. A+ will also be working with the school to educate students in money and finance matters. Look for more information in the Tiger Dens. If you are interested in volunteering to assist with the program, please contact Lisa Hart or Jodi Crawford

Austin Real Estate Partners, as a Gorzycki partner, has very generously purchased a golf cart to be used by our school security team. In addition to this, Melinda McKenna is helping to identify partners for the school.



Another new partner, Goldwasser Real Estate Team, has generously donated library funds they raised at the Circle C BBQ Cookoff.

Austin Partners in Education (APIE) was created as an independent 501(c)(3) organization through a partnership between Austin ISD and the Austin Chamber of Commerce. By leveraging community resources, APIE provides innovative, scalable, and results-driven programs to schools across Austin.

Through the flagship Classroom Coaching™ programs, volunteers encourage student engagement and support teachers on key academic objectives during the school day. These programs focus on Title I schools and students from under-resourced communities. As support for these programs increases, we are able to serve additional schools and communities.

Interested in supporting AISD staff, teachers and students? Visit the website at www.austinpartners.org and go to the Volunteer Center page to become a volunteer, tutor, mentor, donor or school Partner. We help the community identify opportunities for the highest impact on educational support.

Everyone benefits when schools and communities work together, so we encourage you to get connected through Austin Partners in Education!

We are currently identifying business to be partners with Gorzycki. If you are interested in partnering with Gorzycki, please contact us. If you are interested in the AISD volunteer or mentoring program, please contact Stephanie Hawkins for further information.
