ALVIN UPFRONT WEEK 8: A PAWS-ITIVE WAY TO WRAP THINGS UP! 🐾

That's a wrap on our 2026 Alvin Upfront Citizens Academy! And what better way to finish than with a visit to the Alvin Animal Adoption Center - Alvin, TX !

For our final week, participants visited the Alvin Animal Adoption Center and heard from Shelter Manager Keith Villaloboz and Animal Control Officer Brittney Moore about the many ways the shelter serves our community.

Attendees learned more about the day-to-day operations of the shelter, animal care, adoption services, animal control and the important role the team plays in keeping both people and animals safe. Participants also got a behind-the-scenes tour of the facility to see firsthand the work that goes into caring for the animals in our community.

A big thank you to Keith, Brittney and the entire Animal Shelter team for welcoming our class and sharing the important work they do!

Over the past several weeks, our participants have gone behind the scenes of City operations, met the people who serve Alvin every day and gained a better understanding of the services, departments and teamwork that keep our community moving forward.

And while this year's Alvin Upfront class may be coming to a close, there are always ways to stay involved in YOUR community. Attend a City Council meeting. Apply to serve on a board or commission. Volunteer with a local organization. Follow us on social media. Visit www.alvin.gov. Ask questions and stay connected.

Get informed. Get engaged. Get involved.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Alvin Upfront Citizens Academy this year! We hope you'll continue to stay curious, ask questions and be part of what makes Alvin special.

Daylight saving time is a great reminder to check the things that help keep your home safe! ⏰🔥

Don’t forget take a moment to test your smoke alarms and replace the batteries if needed. A few minutes today can make a big difference in keeping you and your loved ones safe.

Thank you to the Alvin Volunteer Fire Department for the important reminder! 🚒

⏰ The clocks changed yesterday… but did you remember to check your smoke alarms? 🚒🔥

We all got an extra hour of sleep this weekend, but taking just a few minutes to check your smoke alarms could make a lifesaving difference!

🚨 Here's something to think about: According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), working smoke alarms can reduce the risk of dying in a home fire by more than HALF. Unfortunately, missing or disconnected batteries remain a common reason smoke alarms fail when they're needed most.

The Alvin Volunteer Fire Department wants to remind everyone to take a few minutes to make sure their home is protected:

🔥 TEST your smoke alarms at least once a month. Just press the test button!

🔥 CHECK your batteries and replace them when needed. Even hardwired alarms may have backup batteries!

🔥 REPLACE smoke alarms that are 10 years old or older. Check the manufacture date on the back!

🔥 NEVER DISCONNECT or disable a smoke alarm. It can't protect you if it isn't working!

🔥 MAKE SURE you have smoke alarms inside every bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every level of your home.

That extra hour of sleep was nice, but peace of mind knowing your family is protected is even better! 😉

Take a minute today to check your alarms. It could save a life! ❤️
