In conjunction with the 14th Annual State of the District, the Greater Arlington Chamber of Commerce hosts an annual school supply drive, providing an opportunity for Chamber Members to support 50+ Arlington ISD elementary schools. During the month of July, members dropped off donations at various Chamber events, and our Networking Groups competed with one another to see who could raise the most school supplies. With over 800 donated supplies, Thursday Morning wins the coveted title of Most School Supplies Donated by a Networking Group.
Thank you to all of the Thursday Morning Members for their generous donations!

This year, the Chamber raised hundreds of school supplies including pens, notebooks, construction paper, markers and more. These supplies provide students the preparation they need to succeed in the upcoming school year. The Chamber fosters relationships with Arlington ISD to help our community grow its workforce, educate its youths, and develop a new generation of Arlington residents ready to make an impact.
Partners in Education works to bridge the gap between the local business community and AISD through a multitude of opportunities from practicum programs to campus beautification projects to launching new scholarships.
