A Note From Royal ISD Superintendent Stacy Ackley
Did you know that at Royal ISD:
* Total student enrollment is 2,272 students
* Demographics are 71% Hispanic/Latino, 19% African American, and 11% White
* 90% of our students households are economically disadvantaged
* 60% of our students are currently struggling learners
I am requesting your support for Royal ISD this year by means of a donation to our second annual fundraising campaign: 2016 Denim and Diamonds Casino Night
Our annual fundraiser raises money for our various academic programs.
The money collected goes toward additional academic support for programs such as our Falcon Flyer Program. Money will also be allotted to student technology as we pursue
our one-to-one technology goal for all students. We will also use these funds for our student enrichment programs such as the Royal STEM Academy Royal Early College
High School.
We currently have a donor that will match the first $400,000 raised. In addition to this match, he has pledged to donate an additional $350,000 each year for the next five years. This donor has done this the past two years. Without this support we cannot provide the
additional support that our students need. These donations are not to support what you know as normal school programs, such as tutorials, but programs that is designed to save kids that may otherwise be lost.
With your donation we will be able to provide our students with the proper supplies and materials needed for academic success. Please remember that your gift is tax-deductible!
Thank you in advance for your support. See flyer below for details.
