Posted by Harvest Coats on 4/18/2023
On April 15, 2023 (2 days after her 17th birthday), Riley Koenig, a junior at Lehman High School, suffered a massive heart attack due to an unknown heart disease- Cardiomyopathy. Thank goodness she was home. Her 19-year-old sister called for help while her 18-year-old brother administered CPR till the paramedics arrived. Riley was immediately taken to Seaton Hays and then airlifted to Dell Children’s. She is currently in the Cardiac ICU on a ventilator. She has a fever and her brain is showing signs of swelling.
She has a long road to recovery, including the possibility of a heart transplant. Because her siblings jumped into action, they saved her life, and she has a fighting chance.

Assistance for Mary Parrish
Posted by Harvest Coats on 1/23/2023
Barton middle school custodian, Mary Parrish, was recently diagnosed with cancer. While she has only been at Barton for a short time, she is already loved by many and is a valued member of our team. Mary has been working for the district since this summer and has strong ties to Hays CISD as her children and many grandchildren have attended Hays CISD schools over the years and both her daughters work for the district.As with any cancer diagnosis, the bills and time off rack up quickly. Mary and members of her family are having to spend extended periods of time in Houston while undergoing treatment and are missing work and income. A Go Fund Me has been set up to help Mary and her family, as they battle this disease, to help with medical bills and expenses while under treatment. Her daughter, Christy Maples, is also able to accept Venmo donations that will go directly to Mary. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
