The AISD Education Celebration on Friday, April 24 at Six Flags Over Texas. This special event is a long-standing partnership between Arlington ISD and the Arlington ISD Education Foundation and directly supports our teachers and students through AEF Educator Grants. Thanks to the generosity of our community, the Foundation continues to fund innovative classroom grants across the district each year. During our 2025-26 grant cycle, we were able to fund nearly $250,000 in grants! Over 1,600 Arlington ISD fine arts students will perform throughout the park during this private event (with no lines!), creating an incredible showcase of student talent. In addition, $5 from every ticket sold goes directly back to the campus selected using your campus GIFT CODE. Tickets are available now at the discounted rate of $30 each and can be purchased here: https://www.arlingtonef.org/education-celebration . Tickets can also be used all day on April 24th, including normal operating hours (meaning these special ticketholders can enjoy the park from 11am-10pm!).
