Frostwood Elementary PTA Website

Please join us on Saturday, May 3 for the Running of the Arts! Proceeds will directly benefit the Spring Branch Independent School District’s ARTS Partners Program and the SBISD Health Fitness Program.

The ARTS Partners Program provides cultural art experiences for all SBISD students while SBISD’s Health Fitness Program educates students on the best way to live a healthy lifestyle.

We will be voting on the updated Bylaws and Standing Rules at our May 8th general PTA meeting so please take a moment to review the documents.  The only change to our bylaws are as follows:

AMENDMENT:  Article V. Membership and Dues, Section 2.A. – Dues

Article V. Section 2.A. Amend to reflect an increase in local dues

Proposed amendment:

Section 2.A.  Annual dues for each member shall be five dollars and fifty cents ($5.50) for the local portion of dues plus state dues as determined by Texas PTA and national dues as determined by National PTA.

Rationale:

To help fund our operating budget plus there has not been an increase to local dues for many years.

AMENDMENT:  Article XIII. Meetings, Section 1.A . – Regular Meetings

Article XIII, Section I.A. Amend by adding the months of October and April.

Proposed amendment:

Section 1.A.  Meetings of the association shall be held in the months of August, October, November, February, April, and May, time and date to be established by executive board.  Five (5) days’ notice shall be given if change of date is needed.  The membership shall be notified through regular publicity channels of the date and time of all association meetings following the first meeting of the executive board at which time this schedule is determined.

Rationale:

To correctly reflect the months our association meets.

It’s time to sign your child up for the Parade of Nations, to be held this year on Tuesday, April 29.  Does he want to showcase your family’s culture? Does she want to wear a fun costume from a different country? Does he want to wear a baseball uniform or everyday wear to represent the USA?

Each year, almost 1/3 of the kids in our school enjoy marching in the parade in costumes of various styles.  See the papers in your child’s backpack this week for more information, or sign up at Signup Genius.

Did you know that SBISD has many e-books available for checkout by our children?

Mrs. Brannon has created a short instructional video about this wonderful free resource.

View the video below.

The Executive Board is excited to announce that Lisa Branon is our 2013-2014 School Bell Award Nominee.  Ms. Branon’s energy and enthusiasm for reading inspire Frostwood students to pick up a book and read!  Thank you, Ms. Branon, for all that you do for our students! Ms. Branon will be invited to attend the SBISD Founder’s Day Celebration where the winner of the district wide School Bell Award will be announced.

SIGN UP to be a part of one of the largest PTA committees at Frostwood.  Select a month that works in your schedule to contribute to the luncheons hosted by the Staff Appreciation Committee.  We need parents to bake, purchase items at Costco and HEB, contribute paper goods, and help with the cost of the main entrees.  You will be contacted one week prior to the luncheon with a specific request of item(s) to donate.  Thank you for helping celebrate our fantastic teachers and staff at Frostwood Elementary!
