To help ensure the next generation of students have what they need for an enjoyable and productive school year, the Dallas Police Department, in partnership with Safer Dallas Better Dallas, gave out approximately 400 bags of schools supplies to students at John Neely Bryan Elementary on Aug. 9.
At the school, Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia, along with members of his command staff, encouraged the students and cheered them on to a successful school year.
Courtney Underwood, Chairman of Safer Dallas Better Dallas, was in attendance as well.
“Today is an exciting day as we celebrate all of these kids returning to school and make it unforgettable with art supplies gifted to each of the students from DPD officers,” Underwood said. “For decades, Safer Dallas has worked hand in hand with our Dallas Police Chiefs acting as the philanthropic arm of DPD, and we are honored to partner with Chief Garcia on this special new initiative at John Neely Bryan.”
