About Friendship Avenue

I’m the parent of a 6th grader here in Garland ISD who, like many others, has faced years of bullying and loneliness. Despite her kindness and good grades, she struggles to make friends and often feels isolated. Just this week she told me she just wanted her Birthday(2 weeks away) to be over with because no one will go to her party. no way for an 11 year old to have to feel. Sadly, she’s not alone.  In a district with over 50,000 students, there are hundreds of kids feeling the same way every day.

That’s why I started Friendship Avenue, a new community for kids who have a hard time finding friends, and for the parents who support them.

Our goal is simple:

Create a safe space where kids can meet others like them.

Help parents connect and support each other.

Host monthly meet-ups and activities so kids can build real friendships in a kind, judgment-free environment.

If your child has ever come home in tears because they feel left out, or if you just want to help make Garland schools a more compassionate place — please join us.

Visit Friendship Avenue on Facebook and help us grow this network of kindness and connection.

Together, we can make sure no child feels alone.
