Aldine ISD is celebrating Make a Difference Day on Saturday, October 23, 2021.

Make a Difference Day is the largest national day of community service and is a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors. The day has become the nation’s largest day of volunteering. On Make a Difference Day students, families, and staff are encouraged to take time to care for someone else. 

This is the 27th year that Aldine ISD has participated in the national project. Each year, Aldine ISD students and staff show their commitment to the community by taking on projects that address their community’s needs. This event provides an opportunity to develop empathy and respect for others. Giving back to the community helps build a positive culture in schools and the Aldine ISD community. By taking part in events like Make a Difference Day, the district hopes to instill in students a lifelong commitment to helping others.

How Can I Participate?
