Generations Unite at Lance Thompson Elementary School |
|
For kindergartener Emma Hampton, walking through the welcoming doors of Lance Thompson Elementary School —appropriately named after her late uncle — was a dream come true.
“I love this school a lot,” Emma said. “I like the teachers and PE is really my favorite.”
Last week, Emma started kindergarten on the very same day her uncle, Lance Thompson, would have turned 40 years old. Thompson — a former Northwest ISD resident — died unexpectedly in 1987 at the age of six.
