Little Cypress-Mauriceville CISD Administrators attended the annual We're Paying It Forward event, hosted by Education First Credit Union in Beaumont last week. According to Faith Brammer, Community Relations Coordinator for Education First, "This program was developed seven years ago to support local education while allowing Education First members to direct a portion of their own dollars back into the communities in which they live and work."

Besides the money provided through the "We're Paying It Forward" program, Education First has been very generous to Little Cypress-Mauriceville schools, providing thousands of dollars of replacement supplies, equipment and furniture to schools following the hurricanes that have devastated LCM campuses in recent years.
