🥤❤️ A little treat for some VERY deserving teachers! ❤️🥤

Today, members of the Kilgore ISD Education Foundation Board made their way around the district delivering Sonic drinks to teachers and campuses who applied for our $500 Back to School Mini Grants!

The drinks may be a small gesture, but the appreciation behind them is BIG! We are so thankful for our incredible teachers who pour their time, energy, creativity, and heart into our students each and every day. 🐾

And WOW — we were overwhelmed by the response to the mini grants! Thank you to every teacher who took the time to apply and share how a little extra funding could make a BIG impact in the classroom. Mini Grant Awards are coming SOON...so stay tuned!!
