Support for
Students in Need
Community partners make a big difference.
More than 10 percent of students en-
rolled in Frisco ISD – about 6,000 kids
– qualify for free and reduced lunch with
an annual income of less than $44,955

During the school year, FISD helps
distribute everything from facial tissues
to notebooks to assist students in need.
Donations of food, clothing and sup-
