A celebration has been scheduled to welcome Misael Rico, first grader at Farine Elementary School, back to school at 8 a.m. March 21.
Rico and his mother were struck by a car and badly injured as they walked home from school January 13. Rico and his family have benefitted from the Irving community uniting to provide funds and support in their time of need. Students, PTA, faculty and staff at Farine and at IISD schools have raised more than $40,000 to donate to the family. The IISD Food Service Department has committed to donate the proceeds from sales of all adult meals in March, and IISD schools continue to conduct fundraising activities for Rico and his family.
The Irving community is invited to continue in their united support, and visit Farine for the celebration to welcome Rico back to school. The school is located at 615 Metker in Irving.
