Representatives from the five FBISD schools were honored during the society’s winter CPA Partners in Education reception and grant presentation, led by CPAs Helping Schools Committee Co-Chairs Brad Elgin (United Way) and Carol Hahn (Deloitte). The event is held each year to recognize and reward staff for all they do in our local education community.
