Change Drive

In the wake of recent tragedies, many in the FISD community have been asking what they can do to help our neighbors in the Granbury area, West, Texas and Moore, Oklahoma.

As these communities work to rebuild, the outpouring of support has been great, but the biggest need continues to be monetary donations.

To assist in this effort, each Frisco ISD school will collect change in the front office between May 28-31.

Donations will be split between the fund to support the town of West, as well as funds administered by the Red Cross to support those in Granbury and Moore. 

Students, parents and staff members are encouraged to participate in this District-wide Change Drive.

West, Texas

Let’s show the community of West our FISD BEST!

Parents and students, many have been asking what can be done to help the community of West, our neighbors to the south who were recently impacted by the tragic explosion. Two of the four schools were destroyed. As they work to rebuild, the outpouring of support has been great, but their biggest need at this time is monetary donations. On May 28-31, we will have receptacles in the front office so that parents, students and staff members can drop of their change. We will then collect it all across the District and our bank depository will issue one check to the account set up in West, Texas, for this purpose. We will be sure to let you all know what is collected and sent by the FISD family! Every little bit of change helps and no donation is too small.

Please know that we would like everyone to participate but it is in no way a competition and we will not even be tracking the donations by school. This is one effort, one district. Feel free to enlist the help of your PTA folks so they can help you by making a receptacle, communicating, etc.
