Children of all ages—and even adults—will enjoy the colorful story of Arthur Zarr. Hardcover book with dust jacket, 40 pgs, color illustrations. © 2016. MSRP $19.99 + tax. ISBN: 978-0-9961150-0-1

Please plan on attending the October 5th General PTA meeting as we will be voting on updated Standing Rules. At our February 2016 general meeting, the PTA approved updates that were subsequently submitted to the Texas PTA. After review of our Standing Rules, the Texas PTA provided their feedback which needs to be taken into account for state approval. The changes that are now proposed do not change the meaning of our Standing Rules but are more wording based. Click here to review the proposed Standing Rules (Proposed Standing Rules). Items highlighted in yellow will be removed. Items highlighted in green are the new verbiage.
Thank you –
Jill Kolb, Suzanne Farrow, Keri Bassett
