HOUSTON — On Sunday, Travis Scott and the Cactus Jack Foundation held a back-to-school drive supporting 1,000 Houston ISD teachers as they head into the new school year.

The foundation said they held the drive to help cut down the cost for teachers who are already spending their own money for supplies.
The drive, which was held at a Lakeshore Learning store, provided 1,000 teachers each with a free tote full of school supplies and a $50 gift card to the store to spend on whatever they needed.
Travis Scott's sister, Jordan Webster, was there to hand out supplies and meet with teachers. Webster oversees education initiatives at the Cactus Jack Foundation.
“Cactus Jack Foundation is committed to enhancing and enriching the lives of teachers and students across Houston and around the country,” Webster said. “It breaks my heart that teachers are forced to dig into their own pockets to fund classrooms that will ensure a rich learning environment for every student."
