Did you know that our PTA Board members and Volunteers wear many hats? (T-shirts, in this case). They dedicate their time and talents not only to our school but also to Alexander Elem, Bonnie Holland Elem, Griffin Elem and Seven Lakes HS.

Texas PTA Rally Day was held in Austin on February 27th , when parents, students, and teachers from around the state advocate on behalf of Texas children.

The morning caucuses included presentations from elected officials and TEA administration. In the afternoon representatives from our BDJH community met with Representative Jacey Jetton, as well as legislative aides for Senators Huffman and Kolkhorst. Topics of discussion included mental health, special education, and vouchers.

We encourage you to reach out yourself about the issues currently facing Texas public education. One of the caucus speakers reported that he is receiving thousands of form-letter-style emails from people who don’t live in his district. We need to let our representatives know what constituents think.
