A generous donation from Target is giving Fort Worth ISD students, parents and families two different opportunities to express themselves.  Applicants are encouraged to use their creativity, and put heart-felt, personal observations into words. 

“Winning Ideas” is a student-centered family engagement project. Teams of two to six students will write a proposal to implement and sponsor a family event at their campus that engages families and the school community. Five teams will receive $500 each to make their idea a reality.
