Throwback to the impact the SISD community made through the The Fruitful Community Initiative last year! 🌟🍇

Our amazing students, parents, and staff volunteers came together to share 15,000 fresh fruits, serve 2,500 hot Iftar meals, and distribute 1,000 snack packs to 4,300 of our community members - the construction workers, gardeners, and delivery drivers who keep our city running! 🙌

More than food & snacks! Our students are engaging with the community to show gratitude and share nutritious foods. 🍎

Huge shoutout to @kibsons and @arabbeverages for their generosity and commitment to keeping our community fruitful! 💫🌟
