DALLAS-Third grade students from Dallas Independent School District's Mark Twain Leadership Vanguard School will receive free school supplies at 1 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 20, at the school's library, 724 Green Cove Lane.
Sponsored by Comerica Bank, the back-to-school event is designed to teach students about money management and financial literacy. Students will use "Comerica dollars" to purchase all the supplies at the "Comerica School Supply Store" to prepare for the new school year 2009-2010 which starts Monday, Aug. 24.
Among the program participants are Dwaine Caraway, Dallas Mayor Pro Tem; Carla Ranger
Dallas ISD Trustee, District 6; and Assistant Banking Center Manager for Comerica Bank, Dawna Alberty.
The fourth core belief adopted by the Dallas ISD Board of Trustees is "We believe that every student must be educated in a safe, welcoming, effective and innovative learning environment."
