Did you know an administrator can attend LAUNCH for FREE? That’s right!!! If your PTA is registered, you can bring an administrator with you for no additional cost. This is an excellent way for admin to see the benefits of PTA and get some training as well. There are some sessions that count as CTE Credits for teachers. Come on down now, yall-you hear!
*Does not include special event meals.

Here is an update on registered Executive officers. Please continue submitting your officer, chair, principal and delegate information. This is the only way you stay in the know and is also a requirement for standards of affiliation.

💡Membership Tip: Create a PTA Referral Program. PTA members are the best PTA ambassadors. Share your PTA’s mid/end of year report and the 10 PTA Membership Myths & Truths flyer to help them get friends and families to join your PTA. Offer incentives to recognize and reward your member recruiters.

🎉 It’s Back! 🎉
From Kat Bearden:
We’re excited to announce the 4th Annual Community Block Party!

For the past three years, this event has brought families, students, staff, and community members together for an afternoon of fun, connection, and celebration. This year, we’re bringing the same energy, the same love, and the same community spirit to a new location:

📍 Sellers Middle School- 1009 Mars
Dr. Garland , Texas

Join us for FREE food, FREE fun, FREE haircuts, FREE school supplies,music, activities, giveaways, and an opportunity to connect with our amazing community. We can’t wait to see familiar faces and welcome new ones as we continue this growing tradition.

While registration is not required and everyone is welcome to simply walk up and enjoy the event, we strongly encourage families to register through Eventbrite and include the number of guests attending. Having an accurate headcount helps us plan appropriately, secure resources, and continue offering this event free of charge to our community year after year.

📢 Interested in being a vendor? Please reach out as soon as possible. We are currently finalizing plans and vendor spaces are limited. We’d love to connect with organizations, businesses, and community partners who want to be part of this amazing event.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to celebrating with you!
