Brown Bag Project
In October, November and December of 2021, Plano Republican Women
held a school supply drive, aka the Brown Bag Project. Supplies were donated to a PISD, Title 1, elementary school. Title 1 schools are those with a high “percentage of students receiving free or reduced cost meals and students that have demonstrates\d a need for services.” “…Students generally receive (supplementary) instruction in small groups often or less by a highly qualified teacher. PISD states a strong component of Title 1 schools is that “Each campus works with families to support student success…”
