Message from the President

Happy April, Cougars!  A huge shout out to all the volunteers who helped with Hands on Science!  From sorting materials to leading lessons, it truly takes a village to make these amazing programs come to life.  This month, we will continue Hands on Science lessons as well as our Art a la Carte program. It’s another fun way to get engaged and bring the arts to our students. Believe it or not, we have begun planning our PTA board for next year. Elections take place at this month’s general meeting on the 21st.  Please plan to attend and vote.  And, be sure to check out our auction for some fun naming rights, birthday marquee messages, and lots more!

February Volunteer of the Month

Congratulations to Dana Tran, our VIPS of the month for February!  Dana spent much of February putting together various wellness events, such as helping promote and implement Jump Rope for Heart, supporting Nurse Scott with her Around the World door to help celebrate our multicultural events, putting together the Kindergarten Field Trip shirts, and helping prepare World Culture Day and the Leukemia fundraiser! Thank you, Dana, for helping our kids be healthier and learning about their health in fun ways!

Just a reminder to submit your volunteer hours for March. You can do this either through the PTA website or email the VIPS coordinator directly at volunteercwe@gmail.com. Remember that volunteer hours are anything you do for the school outside of the school (as those hours are captured and reported directly to the District via Raptor). This includes attending PTA meetings, spending time at the teacher center to help your teacher, helping to prep materials for programs like Hands on Science, etc. Let's continue to show the district how much wonderful parent support we have! 

Shelley, VIPS Coordinator

Record Volunteer Hours

Remember to complete your background check so that you can volunteer in the school! We love to have our volunteers, and the District requires all volunteers to have a background check to keep our kids safe! You can do this by going to the district website at https://www.fortbendisd.com/Page/131868 and follow the directions for the Volunteer Criminal History Application.

Complete Background Check Here
