In celebration of the beginning of the school year, the Texans Players partnered with CoolxDad and Blackshear Elementary School to provide a special picture day for all students at the school, a Title I school located in Houston's Third Ward community. Many students across the country cannot afford to purchase school pictures taken at school. This partnership enabled every student at Blackshear Elementary the opportunity to have their picture taken by a professional photographer and have printed photos to take home to display in their house and share with friends and family, a luxury many of us take for granted. Texans players provided each student with a new school uniform to start the year, along with an ID holder.
