Congratulations to our 5th Graders...We Are So Proud Of You! 

I want to give a special "Thank You" to Amy Haskell and Christine Norwood for leading the forces on the 5th grade party!

There is a lot of behind the scenes to make an event like this happen and these two did it with a lot of grace and dedication...Thank you ladies!

I can not say "Thank You" enough.  I could not have asked for a better board this year.  We had such a great year and were able to do so many fun things because of this wonderful group and all our wonderful volunteers.  Hope everyone has a fun and relaxing summer!!

As mentioned in the last update, HB 4402 (broaden accountability standards for public schools) is still in the Senate is still in the Senate Committee on Education.

While voucher/ESA bills have been unsuccessful thus far, the chance remains that a special legislative session will be called to address this issue. Texas PTA continues to stand opposed to vouchers as they will hurt Texas public schools because they direct funding away from an already critically underfunded system.

The 88th regular session of the Texas Legislature adjourns with “sine die” on May 29th . We encourage you to remain in contact with your elected officials if a special session is called.
