FRIENDSWOOD – The Friendswood Education Foundation (FEF) honored the legacy of Kimberly Montz during this year’s SurPrize Patrol by awarding a $2,329 Kimberly Montz Memorial Grant to Friendswood High School teacher Abigail Colbert. The grant supports the Health Science program through the Stitch to Success initiative.

According to a press release, the funding will provide students with hands-on suture practice kits, allowing them to develop real-world clinical skills while participating in career-focused learning experiences designed to prepare them for future opportunities in healthcare. The resources will help students build confidence and technical skills in a practical classroom setting.

Through the grant, students gain exposure to medical procedures and healthcare pathways, reinforcing FISD’s commitment to innovative, career-connected learning experiences that equip students for success beyond graduation.
