Maxie Johnson, who represents District 5 in the Dallas ISD board of trustees, hosted a health and job fair at L.G. Pinkston High School, Saturday.
The trustee, along with All Kids Matter Foundation, organized the annual Shake Dallas, where partner organizations offered vaccinations and several employers hosted on-the-spot interviews with attendees from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.
“We’re offering scholarship opportunities for our students, we’re offering jobs for our students, some that have rough situations at home and they’re going to school full-time but they need a little financial help on the weekends,” Johnson said “And we also opened it up to our parents, because our parents need opportunities as well. When we’re talking about education and equity, that’s what we’re trying to bring here in District 5.”
