ALDINE – On Saturday, July 29, Aldine ISD’s Family and Community Engagement (FACE) Department hosted its annual Back-To- School Expo at the M. O. Campbell Educational Center, where FACE staff members and district employees distributed free backpacks and school supplies to all families who attended the event.
The drive-through expo utilized volunteers and donations from various business sponsors of the event. From 9 to 11 a.m. about 2,000 vehicles were assisted with nearly 6,000 backpacks and school supplies provided to families and students.
Finding opportunities to provide assistance to the Aldine community is paramount in AISD. Thanks to the FACE Department, this opportunity was able to be met.
FACE would like to thank sponsors and in-kind donations from the Aldine Noon Optimist Club, East Aldine Management District, Aldine-Greenspoint YMCA of Greater Houston, Texas Children’s Health Plan, State Representative Senfronia Thompson, Beasley Tires, Philippine Nurses Association of Metropolitan Houston Foundation, Children Flow, Camdon Graphics, Asian American Health Coalition Hope Clinic, No Excuses Today LLC, Bailer Backpacks, Villa Serena Community, Aldine American Federation of Teachers (AFT), Amerigroup, Whataburger, United We Care and the Harvest Church for making this event possible.
