MISSION, TEXAS (August 5, 2026) – The Education Foundation of Mission CISD made back-to-school preparations a little easier for local families today by providing a $125 spending budget per child to purchase clothing and school supplies at Target.
The initiative ensured students could begin the new school year with fresh outfits and the tools they need to learn with confidence—removing a financial burden for many parents and guardians.
A Commitment to Opportunity
The support reflects the Foundation’s ongoing mission to create the best possible opportunities for students across the district.
“We are proud to partner with the Education Foundation of Mission CISD to make opportunities like this possible,” said Dr. Cris King, Superintendent of Schools for Mission CISD.
Speaking directly to students, Dr. King added, “This is about more than just school supplies. It is about making sure you have the tools and resources you need to be successful in school. Students, remember that you have the power to make choices that will help make this a great school year.”
A Stronger Community, One Student at a Time
The Education Foundation of Mission CISD continues to invest in students’ futures by providing resources, scholarships, and other assistance programs that uplift the entire community. Efforts like today’s shopping event are a tangible reminder that, when a community comes together, children thrive.
