This week's devastating tornadoes affected those across North Texas, including members of the HPISD family. Orenda Spikes, her husband and their 3 1/2-year-old son are among those affected. Ms. Spikes is an 8th-grade English teacher at Highland Park Middle School.

The Spikes family's home was severely damaged in the tornado that passed through Rowlett on Dec. 26, and most of their belongings were destroyed.

The HPISD community has joined forces to help the Spikes family rebuild their lives, and a GiveForward account has been set up for Ms. Spikes. You can learn more about the fund and donate here.
