Arlington ISD Celebrates Education

Six Flags Over Texas is partnering with the Arlington ISD Education Foundation to host the first annual Education Celebration benefitting the Foundation and Arlington ISD. Tickets are still available for this event, which is being held Friday evening, April 11, from 6-11 p.m. Tickets are only $20 each, well below the regular admission price of $65. The only catch is that there is a limited supply of tickets, so the time to buy is now. Proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Foundation and will be used to pay for teaching grants and enrichment programs for students and educators that are not funded by the State of Texas or Arlington ISD. Another added benefit is that the Foundation is donating $5 of the $20 ticket price to the Arlington school of your choice when you designate a school gift code while purchasing your tickets. Visit www.aisdeducationcelebration.com to purchase tickets.
