Keeping the PACE

Summer Vol 9 Issue 3

The Fort Bend Association of Parents for Academic Excellence

Established in 1990, PACE is a 501c3 non-profit parent support group whose purpose is to promote and encourage academic excellence in the Fort Bend Independent School District with a particular emphasis on gifted and talented education. PACE is not affiliated with FBISD, but is proud of our longstanding collaborative efforts to support and promote student success.

Supporting Student Success

Spreading an Attitude of Gratitude

PACE continues its series on supporting our children to recognize the importance of sharing gratitude. Below is rising 7th grader, Advika Asthana, showing a few of the many cards she sent as part of Operation Gratitude.
