Marathon Public Library is partnering with TransPecos Banks to provide all school supplies needed by students and teachers in the Marathon Independent School District (MISD) for the 2024/2025 school year, according to Dara Cavness, Marathon Public Library Director. Marathon Public Library began its schoolsupply program for MISD in 2016. Since that time, the library has partnered with businesses, foundations, and individuals in an effort to support the school district while also helping students and their families. “We are grateful for our partnership with TransPecos Banks and its financial support to help make this program possible in the 2024/2025 school year,” said Cavness. “Thanks to TransPecos Banks, we are helping build a strong foundation for a successful school year for both students and teachers. As importantly, TransPecos’ gift helps ease the ‘back-toschool’ financial burdens on parents and teachers.” The library will deliver over $5,000 of supplies to all students and teachers. “Each year, the bank looks for ways to help and give back to their local communities,” said Johanna Wells, the Deposit Relationship Development Manager at the TransPecos Banks, Alpine branch. “We are excited to collaborate with Marathon Public Library and help support the students and teachers at Marathon ISD,” said Wells. “It’s a wonderful way to foster learning and help ensure educational success for all Marathon students.”
