Giving our students a superior education in Northwest Harris County can be a full-time job! Many of our students and teachers are on vacation, but Tomball Education Foundation never stops working for Tomball Independent School District (TISD) students. July and August are busy months, as TEF prepares for one of the foundation’s biggest annual projects, Stuff The Bus.
The official Stuff The Bus campaign kicks off the week of July 28, 2025, and continues through August 8. Donation sites will include Tomball Memorial High School (TMHS) and Tomball High School (THS). Tomball’s All American Youth Football & Drill Team (AAYFDT) leagues (Liberty Bells drill teams, Patriots youth football teams, Sophisticats drill teams, and Redcats youth football teams) will be holding Stuff the Bus drives at their practices the week of July 28.
August 7-8 – Stuff The Bus collections will take place at all Meet the Teacher events at Tomball elementary schools.
August 7 – Meet the TMHS Cats: Stuff The Bus donations can be delivered to the school, 19100 Northpointe Ridge Ln., Tomball, TX 77377.
August 7 – Spirit Night at Chick-fil-A! Jones Road and Hwy. 249 is a tasteful and spirited back-to-school celebration. Stuff The Bus donations will be collected.
Your School Supplies Donations Help Students
Every child deserves academic equality, but some families can’t provide the tools that make schoolwork easier. Your donation will ensure a student starts the year with a new backpack full of brand-new school supplies. Go to https://www.tomballisd.net/families/parent-portal/school-supply-lists to review the school supplies listed for individual elementary, intermediate, junior high and high schools.
Your donation not only provides students with basic classroom supplies, but it also gives kids an increased sense of self-worth and an attitude of excitement about learning. This can lead to confidence and higher grades, something for which Tomball schools have been recognized.
