DALLAS - Dallas ISD, through the Dallas Education Foundation, received a $10,000 donation from the Dallas Mavericks and the player Kristaps Porzingis, in partnership with Whataburger, as part of the KrisStops campaign, which aims to provide meals to children and families in need in North Texas. The district will allocate the funds to identified families through the Parent Advocacy and Support Services Department.
Summer meals are available through curbside pickup or on-site eating
During the summer, our Food and Child Nutrition Services continues to provide free meals to all children. Our curbside pickup service is scheduled every Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at selected schools. Also, we are providing on-site meals to children up to 18 years old at participating sites. Families only have to find a site and have their child show up for breakfast and lunch to enjoy healthy meals.

Dallas ISD profile - Mary Crossland, L.O. Donald Elementary School
Mary Crossland was one of the first Black educators on the frontlines of desegregation in the early '70s. After graduating from Prairie View A&M University, where she earned her bachelor's and master's degrees, she moved to Dallas in 1969 to work as a teacher for Dallas ISD, her first and only employer. In 1971, she was one of the first two Black teachers to work at L.O. Donald. Now, 49 years later, she's retiring, surrounded by her students and co-workers.
