Saturday August 22, 2009 from 11:00am – 3:00pm, I will be helping at the Ed White Inaugural Back to School Event. This event has been organized in hopes of helping the economically disadvantaged school children. If you are interested in helping, please e-mail Cristina Bazaldua at cbazal1@neisd.net.

In partnership with Councilwoman Ivy R. Taylor, City of San Antonio District 2 & Rackspace, Ed White Middle School, would like to reach out to our San Antonio community and begin a successful collaboration between health agencies, state agencies, non-profits, corporate sponsors, volunteers, and private citizens.

With your help, we can reach out to our economically disadvantaged school children in our area with free school supplies, immunizations, haircuts, uniforms, and other resources necessary to help ensure their academic success. Due to the existing economic conditions, it is almost certain that there will be a great number of families participating in our inaugural Back to School Fair.

We would like to enlist your financial support and or assistance in making the free school supplies available to the children of families who fall below the 2009 Poverty Level Guidelines and also reside in the City of San Antonio – District 2.

Please join me in helping the children in our Ed White Middle School area with a simple, yet great resource – the supplies they need to go back to school.
