El Paso ISD alumni Aaron and Alvin Jones returned to their alma mater with the A&A All the Way Foundation to support local students and families. ❤️

The brothers hosted a shoe drive, helping more than 450 children step into the new school year with a fresh pair of kicks and a boost of confidence. 👟🌟

We're incredibly proud of Aaron and Alvin for investing in the next generation and showing that the spirit of service starts right here at El Paso ISD. ✅
