CISD Coat Drive

The Clothing Center is seeking new or gently used coats and jackets for CISD students in need. We recommend jackets in standardized dress colors: gray, light blue, royal blue, navy blue, gold, white or black, although any color is appreciated. The elementary campus that collects the most coats and jackets during the drive will receive a visit from Santa Claus in December. The deadline to turn in coats and jackets to any of the schools' front office is Nov. 10.
 
Thank you for your support of students at CISD!
