Community partnerships boost learning at DISD
On campuses across Denison ISD, kids are thirsty for knowledge and success. Inspired by talented teachers and encouraged by a community intent on making learning fun and interesting, Denison students are embracing education like never before, thanks to the generosity of local foundations, merchants, businesses, organizations, corporations and individuals.
Just this week, the Denison Chamber's
Partners In Education
committee distributed thousands of dollars in school supplies, backpacks and personal care items for students on all ten DISD campuses. Last week, a local church signed up to buy shoes for kids in need at Hyde Park Elementary. Two months earlier, the Smith Foundation funded $30,000 in Camp Goddard scholarships for disadvantaged fifth graders, a program that is also supported generously by the Denison Rotary Club.
