IMPORTANT INFO From Spring Branch Speaks (From PTA)
It was great to have everyone out to hear Spring Branch Speaks …If you missed it, please take a few moments to watch this SBISD Crossroads video (see link below). This is crucial information for all SBISD Parents, and our entire community! You can also sign up to receive legislative updates and information from Spring Branch Speaks, by on the Spring Branch Speaks link below.
Spring Branch Speaks is a grass-roots, non-partisan, parent-led group who advocate for all things Spring Branch.
Another organization we encourage all to join is "Parents for Full Fair Funding of Texas Public Schools." PF3 is a grassroots movement started by parents and concerned taxpayers living in and sending children to schools in SBISD. You can find out more via the Parents for Full Fair Funding link.
Thanks so much and have a great day!
Kristin Carlson, PTA President (Elena, 2nd and Elyse, 5th)
