Galderma Donates Supplies for 1,250 Students to NISD
Employees of Galderma, a Nestle skincare company based in Fort Worth, donated enough school supplies to ensure 1,250 NISD children in need were prepared for this school year. The backpacks filled with supplies were distributed at the Northwest Back to School Fair.

"Having a company such as Galderma in our boundaries is such a blessing, because they understand what's really important: ensuring all students are prepared for success," Northwest ISD Superintendent Dr. Ryder Warren said. "We're looking forward to partnering with Galderma and all the great companies and organizations around us.  With strong community support, we can live up to our mission of providing all students with a premier education and getting them ready for the futures."
