Exploring Educational Opportunities

The Quail Ridge Apartments management team partnered with Rocketship, a tuition free charter school, for an on-site event in Fort Worth, Texas.The school was recently constructed near Quail Ridge, and they focus on academic growth through personalized, project based, rigorous learning. Residents enjoyed food, games, and prizes, and Rocketship teachers explained the opportunities that are available to students at the school. Community Manager Sebera Roman said, "They make amazing accommodations for working families, like before and after care, which is a need that many of our residents have brought to our attention. They loved the idea when they came out that day."

Health & Wellness

At Spring Grove Apartments, residents enjoyed a day of Health Awareness and Bingo with a health representative from Aetna solutions.
