With school back in session for students across the Rio Grande Valley, Channel 5 News helped several students prepare for the new school year.

Over the summer, Channel 5 News teamed up with H-E-B and the non-profit organization Communities in Schools to give a handful of Donna ISD students a shopping spree.

Among those students is Donna ISD fifth grader Santiago Reyes. With $250 to spend at the H-E-B Plus in San Juan, Santiago picked up several school supplies, and some items for his mom and pets.

“Because I love them and I want to take care of them,” Santiago said.

To cap it off, Santiago picked the perfect item to round out a trip shopping with Channel 5 Sports Director KJ Doyle.
