9th Annual Inspire Awards

On the evening of Wednesday, October 2, we celebrated Distinguished Alumni and the Elementary Strings Program in SAISD. With the trajectory of success our District has seen, we are so humbled by the support of our community partners. Just being with us on that day, you’ve clearly shown your support for nearly 50,000 students in San Antonio ISD schools. Your support means more SAISD educators are equipped with tools necessary to make our students a success story. 

This year, with the help of our Board, we reimagined our mission and vision statements: With a vision for every student and teacher to thrive in SAISD public schools, our mission is to mobilize the community to invest in student and teacher success - This event is one of the key ways we live that mission. The Inspire Awards is a demonstration of our community’s investments in the belief that SAISD students can - and will - make a difference in our city and beyond, just as our incredible SAISD alumni honorees we recognized have done. So thank you! Thank you for being a part of our story and helping us continue to create what this story looks like.

Giving Tuesday - Save the Date

Celebrated on the Tuesday following U.S. Thanksgiving, and fueled by the power of social media and collaboration, Giving Tuesday inspires millions of people across the globe to show up and give back to causes and issues that matter to them. The goal is to create a massive wave of generosity that lasts well beyond that day. Giving Tuesday takes place on December 3, 2019 this year. Each year, we use this day to raise awareness of the important work of educators and schedule surprise mini -grant deliveries on this day, as OUR way of giving!
