Bullard is coming for that POP TOP Award again this year!

🍂 We hope all of our local units had a wonderful fall break! 🧡 We hope you had some time to relax, recharge, and enjoy a little bit of fall fun with your families!

If you’re visiting Downtown Kennesaw for Scarecrows on Main, be sure to stop by and check out the Tom Mathis Sr. Council PTA scarecrow display! 🎃🌾

📍 You’ll find our display across from Honeysuckle Biscuits & Bakery!

Take a stroll through downtown, check out all the creative scarecrows, and come see ours! 👻🍂

And if you spot our scarecrow, take a picture and tag us or post in the comments—we’d love to see it! 📸

✨🎨 Reflections is here! 🎨✨

We are SO excited for the Reflections Program again this year! And getting to see some of last year’s amazing winners makes us even more inspired for what’s to come. 🥰🏆

🌎 This year’s theme:
“What My Culture Means to Me”

We can’t wait to see our students express their creativity, culture, and unique perspectives through dance, music, art, photography, literature, and film! 🎭🎶📸📝🎬

And because apparently we can’t clone ourselves yet 😂, our Reflections training had to be recorded due to a scheduling conflict! No worries—we’ve got you covered!

📧 If your local unit would like a copy of the training, just email us and we’ll be happy to send it your way!

Let’s make this another amazing year of celebrating creativity, culture, and our incredible students! ❤️✨
