An LISD tradition took over the Dr. Marcus Nelson Conference Center as over 400 LISD elementary students filled the room for the LISD’s Office of Communications 16th Annual “Coat Them with Love” coat distribution event.
The LISD Office of Communications, campus staff, and community partners presented the students with an early Christmas gift. One by one, the students came up to receive their new jacket and took a picture with district administration and sponsors. The students were also treated to pizza.
The Office of Communications along with its community partners and LISD employees recently came together for LISD’s “Bowl 4 KIDS” Bowling Competition so LISD elementary students can get a warm coat for the chilly winter season. Close to 200 LISD employees and community partners laced up their bowling shoes during the district’s annual BOWL 4 KIDS Competition.
The coats were purchased with proceeds from BOWL 4 KIDS. LISD would like to thank its community partners Kazen, Meurer, and Perez, Aflac, Falcon Bank, Laredo Federal Credit Union, PNC Bank, Whataburger, Juan Cruz Law Firm, and Sunbelt Air Conditioning.
During the last 16 years the Coat them with Love Campaign has provided over 6,400 coats to LISD students. Individuals or local companies and organization interested in donating new coats for LISD students please contact the LISD Office of Communications at 273-1730.
