## Resource

Arlington ISD kicked off the new school year with a massive, community-powered event at AT&T Stadium, where thousands of students and families stocked up on supplies, snagged free haircuts, and got ready for classes starting August 12th. Led by Superintendent Matt Smith and powered by 800+ volunteers, the day featured nearly 10,000 backpacks filled with essentials — and even included services from local cosmetology students like 16-year-old Alyssa Davila, who’s using the program to launch her career while helping kids feel confident and stylish for the first day of school. Over 100,000 students have benefited from this annual tradition in the past 12 years — proof that Arlington ISD is truly investing in every student’s success.
