  • Text and HTML tabs:
    Prioritize using AI to type the text for you. If AI is not available, "copy and paste" from the PDF in the "Text" tab. The tool will input the HTML code.

  • When use the Summary:
    Fill the Summary field with 1-2 short sentences (usually one h2 and one p). IF the news content is very short, no need to add it. This removes the need for "Purge" and "show_eblast_only" HTML codes.

Those Two Girls is a spirited duo made up of Juliette Tudela (13, seventh grade) and Francesca Vento (11, sixth grade), both students at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish School. They train with Tammy Acosta and share a love for performing together on stage. Outside of the arts, Francesca enjoys swimming, while Juliette loves reading and writing. True to their name, their combined meanings—youthful and free—perfectly capture the joy, energy, and connection they bring to every performance.

Care-Kit Donation Drive

Care-Kit Donation Drive

TBI Warriors is a peer-led group of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke survivors who support patients and families in the early stages of recovery through shared experiences, encouragement, and faith. Founded by a survivor who credits his recovery to a life-changing faith experience, the group focuses on bringing hope and reminding others that healing and purpose are still possible.

The organization also runs a care-kit donation drive to provide comfort and encouragement to patients and caregivers during recovery. These kits include simple items that help reduce stress and improve daily well-being while serving as a reminder of support and compassion.

Care-kit items requested:

Stress balls or fidget toys, simple puzzles or brain teasers, tissues, mints or gum, ear plugs, sleep masks, lip balm, perfume, hand cream or essential oils, pocket notebooks, pens and pencils, coloring books, protein or granola bars, rosaries, prayer books or bookmarks.

TBI Warriors es un grupo liderado por personas que han sobrevivido a lesiones cerebrales traumáticas (LCT) y accidentes cerebrovasculares. Este grupo apoya a pacientes y familias en las primeras etapas de la recuperación mediante experiencias compartidas, aliento y fe. Fundado por un sobreviviente que atribuye su recuperación a una experiencia de fe transformadora, el grupo se enfoca en brindar esperanza y recordar a los demás que la sanación y el sentido de la vida aún son posibles.

La organización también lleva a cabo una campaña de donación de kits de cuidado para brindar consuelo y aliento a pacientes y cuidadores durante la recuperación. Estos kits incluyen artículos sencillos que ayudan a reducir el estrés y mejorar el bienestar diario, a la vez que sirven como recordatorio de apoyo y compasión.
