Lubbock ISD announces Spirit Pumps fundraiser partnership for back to school - NewsBreak: Local News & Alerts

The district announced its collaboration with Spirit Pumps, a program channeling a percentage of fuel purchases directly back to LISD. This initiative launches just in time for back-to-school, offering a convenient new way to support local classrooms and student programs. Drivers filling up at designated stations around town, from Quaker Avenue to University Avenue, will see their dollars contribute to district-wide needs.

These funds aim to equip classrooms with up-to-date materials and support extracurricular activities across all campuses. The partnership directly benefits every student, from those starting at Coronado High School to younger learners attending elementary schools near Tech Terrace. This innovative approach seeks to provide additional financial flexibility for campus needs.

For families, this could mean fewer out-of-pocket expenses for classroom supplies or field trip costs. Every gallon purchased at a Spirit Pump funnels money toward essential educational resources, directly benefiting thousands of students and teachers across the district. This community-driven effort ensures schools have more funds for what they need most.

Last year, national averages showed parents spent over $890 per child on back-to-school necessities.
