WHEREAS, Each year, the Arlington Independent School | ||
District hosts a Back to School Kickoff to help students and | ||
families prepare for a new academic year; and | ||
WHEREAS, First held in 2015, the Back to School Kickoff draws | ||
thousands of Arlington ISD students, who are given free backpacks | ||

for immunizations, vision checks, dental screenings, and haircuts; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, The Back to School Kickoff receives support from | ||
hundreds of community volunteers and a multitude of Arlington | ||
organizations; among the annual sponsors are the Gene and Jerry | ||
Jones Family Foundation, which through the years has provided the | ||
event with funding, school supplies, and the use of the AT&T Stadium | ||

dollars to benefit youth programs, women's health, and military and | ||
Hispanic outreach initiatives; and | ||

Arlington ISD serves approximately 60,000 young Texans; the | ||

award-winning special education program, and a nationally | ||
recognized fine arts program; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Arlington ISD Back to School Kickoff is a | ||
much-anticipated celebration of a new school year, and all those | ||
who help make this worthwhile endeavor possible are indeed | ||
deserving of recognition; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the Arlington | ||
ISD Back to School Kickoff and extend to everyone associated with | ||
the district sincere best wishes for a successful school year. | ||
