His favorite memories from his time at Parish are recess and “wiggle time.” In his free time\, John enjoys playing video games with friends\, being an acolyte at church and volunteering at Parish’s Adventure Play.  \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Alonzo Limas\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Alonzo Limas’ journey to Parish began through The Carruth Center at 3 years old. He spent one year at Carruth before enrolling at The Parish School\, where he was provided the support he needed to become the successful young man he is today. Parish taught him patience\, flexibility along with the ability to communicate and self advocate. His favorite memories of Parish include meeting lifelong friends and Adventure Play. He transitioned out of Parish at 12 years old to attend Memorial Middle School then Stratford High School\, where he graduated in 2025. He is currently a freshman at the University of St. Thomas\, aspiring to work as an aircraft marshaller in the future.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Allie Lange\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Allie Lange is a Houston native and Parish alumna. After graduating from Parish in 2008\, she attended Briarwood for the elementary program and stayed throughout high school\, before earning her degree of Early Childhood Education from Lynn University in Boca Raton\, Florida. Following college\, she returned home to Houston to begin her career in education\, eventually coming full circle by starting her professional journey at The Parish School. She is now working at The Mays School as a lead teacher and is passionate about supporting students and fostering meaningful learning experiences in early childhood and beyond.  URL:https://parishschool.org/event/life-after-parish-2026/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Adult Education ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://parishschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Life-After-Parish-2026-Banner-scaled.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260327T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260327T120000 DTSTAMP:20260421T161307 CREATED:20260303T183012Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260303T202320Z UID:24835-1774611000-1774612800@parishschool.org SUMMARY:PTO March 2026 Meeting DESCRIPTION:The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) of The Parish School provides a platform for relationship building\, support and volunteering.
