TISD schedules special events for parents, students and community

Texarkana Independent School District will celebrate Texas Public Schools Week from March 6-8, and all events are open to the community.

Texas Public Schools Week is designed to get parents and communities involved with their local public schools. Behind every successful student is a crowd of supporters—parents, families, teachers, community leaders and business owners—offering him or her encouragement to succeed and accomplish educational goals.

“Today’s students will one day determine the direction of our communities, our state and our nation. A strong and successful public education system is a priority for everyone,” TISD spokeswoman Tina Veal-Gooch said in a press release.

Activities scheduled for Texas Public

Schools Week include:

■ Community Breakfast, 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. Tuesday in the Dan Haskins Student Center at Texas High School.

Breakfast will feature a district update presented by Superintendent Paul Norton and Hall of Fame induction for Marvin Brewster, choir director and counselor from 1962-95.

Reservations are requested and can be made by calling 903-794-3651, ext. 1013.
