Generous Donations Help Bandera ISD Families Get Ready for School

Bandera, Texas ● August 21, 2009

Thanks to the generosity of several local organizations, many children attending Bandera ISD schools will not have to worry about purchasing school supplies for the upcoming year. This past week, the Bandera ISD Central Office received large school supply donations from the St. Vincent de Paul Society, Bandera County Republican Women, and the Order of the Eastern Star. “I know that many families are struggling in those tough economic times”, stated Superintendent Dr. Kevin Dyes. “These donations will help many of our students get the right start on the new school year”. Donations received included: backpacks, filler papers, pens, pencils, crayons, graph paper, composition books, and more.
