Or…shop for a Fortress Student!
Once again, Fort Worth ISD is providing elementary students with the school supplies they need for the year. But we still need your help ensuring each of our kids has a new backpack, a school uniform*, and new shoes to start the year. Sign up for a student below.
Each backpack sponsor should provide:
A backpack
One uniform set, which includes a navy or white polo top and a navy or khaki uniform bottom (skirt, pants, shorts, etc.)
A pair of sneakers
Sponsors are welcome to provide beyond these items (i.e., socks, underwear, belt, undershirts), as long as each backpack also contains the items listed above.
*Fortress students must wear blue or khaki pants, shorts or skirts and a navy or white polo shirt.
