Write Start Project

Giving Teachers the "Write" Start

The United Way Write Start Project is a back-to-school initiative targeting those who make a difference in our children’s lives, the individuals who spend their days ensuring that our students succeed in school—teachers.

This year, the Write Start Project is supporting teachers in Northeast ISD.
