People of Our Community Who Make a Difference - Kellie Pope

In a world where authentic altruism is needed more than ever, there remain individuals who make it their mission to help others. With their unwavering dedication to putting others before themselves, they continue to push past their boundaries and transform communities into a better place for the next generation. One of these individuals is Kellie Pope, and she is making it her goal to help guide Rose City youth towards confidence and leadership.

Mrs. Pope enjoys devoting her time and service to Promise Academy, a Christian-based elementary school located in North Tyler, and believes in dedicating herself to helping others.

“I am blessed to be able to share the gift of time with various organizations that are important to my family and me,” Mrs. Pope said. “Whether it is to share the love and hope of Jesus, meet the physical needs of those in our community, or to simply be an encourager to those I serve, I believe we all have something to give.”

Giving is something Mrs. Pope does not think twice about, as she serves Promise Academy in varied capacities.

“As a partner, volunteer, and board member at Promise Academy, I have the opportunity to serve the school and its students in a variety of ways, including volunteering in the lunchroom each week, supporting the staff through board activities, bringing others into the Promise family, and sharing what Promise Academy is doing with other communities,” Mrs. Pope said.

Volunteering at Promise Academy gives Mrs. Pope the dual benefit of serving the youth while staying true to her faith.

“The school’s mission is to cultivate wise, creative, and compassionate leaders through exemplary, Christ-centered education in North Tyler for the joy of our city and the glory of God,” Mrs. Pope said. “Promise Academy’s income-based tuition gives all families access to a Christian education, providing the only Christian elementary school serving North Tyler in the last 80+ years. What a privilege it is to watch this in action week after week.”

Originally from Commerce, Texas, Mrs. Pope is a graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University with a bachelor of business administration degree in finance. She and her husband, Rogers, have been married 11 years, and have five children: Trace, Elise, Will, Sydnie, and Casey. Prior to her service with Promise Academy, Mrs. Pope served as vice president of Grace Community School’s Parent Teacher Fellowship and is a former board member for the Greater Longview United Way.

Through it all, Mrs. Pope values her part in making the community a better place.

“I have found Tyler to be a community that constantly strives to improve, whether it is through the countless services offered to its residents, the invaluable nonprofit organizations in our area, or just residents loving their neighbor,” Mrs. Pope said. “It is an honor to play a small role in that.”

🌞 We hope everyone is having GREAT Summer fun!

Here's a reminder to keep the learning spirit alive this summer! Here are 3 reasons why it's crucial for children to continue learning during the break:

1. Prevent Learning Loss: Don't let those hard-earned skills fade away in the sun! Summer learning keeps minds sharp.

2. Maintain Progress: Keep that educational momentum going! Learning throughout the summer ensures a smooth transition back to school.

3. Promote Lifelong Learning: Cultivate a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. Summer is the perfect time to explore new interests and hobbies!

Let's make this summer a season of growth and discovery! 📚✨

At Promise Academy, we are truly blessed to have a community filled with dedicated volunteers, including those in the library, lunchroom, and beyond. Your service reflects the spirit of Christ's love, and we are immensely thankful for the kindness and support you've shown to our students and staff.

We also want to extend our sincerest appreciation to our generous sponsors, devoted teachers, supportive parents, and everyone who has nurtured our school family. Your commitment to fostering a Christ-centered environment has helped shape a year of growth, faith, and cherished memories.

Your dedication to ensuring our students' safety and enjoyment has not gone unnoticed, and we are deeply grateful for your selflessness.

As we reflect on the journey of this past year, let us give thanks for the countless blessings we've experienced and the lessons we've learned. May the love of Christ continue to guide us as we embark on a summer filled with rest, rejuvenation, and opportunities to grow closer to Him.

📚🎉 Wrapping up the school year with a celebration of reading! 🌟

Our students have gone above and beyond in their literary journey despite the challenges. While our goal of total library books was ambitious, they've surpassed the halfway mark with flying colors! 🚀📖 This week, during their final library period of the year, we threw a halfway party to applaud their dedication and love for books!

🌋 Today, in first grade, we dove into the world of volcanoes! The classroom was excited as the kids mixed baking soda, food coloring, dish soap, and vinegar to create their own explosive eruptions!

Thank you, Pastor Josef Sorrells, for being a faithful speaker at Promise Academy. We always enjoy your message!
