Students at all elementary schools across the EPISD will start off the 2013-2014 school year with a new set of basic school supplies thanks to the Brakie Family, the SA Youth Education Scholarships Foundation and Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken. "It's our way of saying "YES" to education," is clearly stated on a flyer which is found inside each school supply packet, "We want to help make dreams come true and help you succeed." The News Gram was on hand to see the distribution first hand to a group of first graders at San Luis Elementary where new principal Sylvia Saucedo was overseeing the event, "We're happy to be benefactors of the generosity that the SA YES Foundation provides each and every year. Some of our students may not have the means to purchase supplies at this time, so this insures that every student will have the basic supplies to start off the year." "We'd like to thank the community for their support throughout the year," stated Gonzalo Castillo, Manager of Pizza Hut whose staff were also on hand to assist in the distribution, "It is because of this support that we are able to do this each year for the past ten years and we hope to continue doing so."
