Donor Wall Dedication

The Board of Directors for the Flour Bluff ISD Foundation for Educational Excellence, Inc. hosted a special reception and dedication service in recognition of the Founding Donors of the Education Foundation. The reception was held in the Flour Bluff High School Auditorium on April 2, 2006.
