The 2021-2022 PTA membership year has begun and joining is easy!  Joining Baldwin PTA supports your children as well as the Baldwin teachers and administrators all year long!

Dress up in your Halloween costume for an afternoon of FUN while you trunk or treat from decorated vehicles!  Join us on  Saturday, October 23rd from 3-6 PM in the back parking lot for our first Trunk or Treat event!

We still need more decorated trunks to make this a success!

The Baldwin PTA welcomes your child(ren) to participate in the 2021 - 2022 PTA Reflections Art Program. Have your child(ren) create an original art piece that reflects on this year's theme: I Will Change the World By... 

There are six arts categories - dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, and visual arts. Students may enter the Reflections program in one or more arts categories. See each arts category rules for additional entry requirements.

This year, all entries will be turned in online via a Google Form.

Support Baldwin families this holdiay season with our Care and Share Program.  Sign ups for donations will begin November 8th.  Stay tuned!

The 2021-2022 Baldwin Scholarship is here! The Baldwin Elementary PTA seeks to recognize former Baldwin students who have demonstrated a strong commitment to education and their community. Each year, three (3) recipients are awarded a $500 scholarship for post-high school educational opportunities. All graduating seniors who attended Baldwin are welcome to apply. The deadline for scholarship submissions is January 28, 2022.

Everyone has to grocery shop!  Why not support Baldwin PTA when you do your shopping?  By enrolling in our HEB Gift Card Program, you can turn your shopping dollars into money for our school - at no expense to you!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

• Sign up to buy HEB $100 gift card(s) on a monthly basis.

• Give the PTA $100 (or more!)

• We give you a $100 HEB card(s). No money out of your pocket!

• Cards are like cash, valid for 3 years

• Cards can be used at any HEB, Central Market & Central Market Café.

• Great news!  You can now use your HEB Gift Cards for Curbside or Home Delivery on the www.heb.com website.  Other third-party delivery services are not eligible to be paid for with HEB Gift Cards.

Just one $100 card per month is like writing Baldwin PTA a check for $60/year-except HEB is donating to the school on your behalf!

Enroll before November 10th, and you will receive your first set of cards in early December.

Parents - please remember to keep logging your child's activity for our Marathon Kids program.  You should have received an email from noreply@marathonkids.org to create your parent Marathon Kids account. From there, you can follow your child’s progress and submit miles completed at home.  With it starting to feel like Fall, it is a great time to get your kids out and increase miles outside of school! If you have questions, please contact Coach Spelman.  

The 2021 Love Your School Fundraiser was one of our most successful thanks to our generous school community!  This year, our Baldwin families and friends helped us raise over $11,000!  Thank you to everyone that participated and for your generous support!

Thank you to our Platinum Level Business Boosters for the 2021-2022 school year! These local businesses (some run by Baldwin families) helped our school raise over $6,000!  Click on their logo and check out their websites to see what they have to offer.

If you, or someone you know, own a local business, we'd love to team up!  We are always looking for ways to strengthen our community partnerships and develop economic and social relationships.  We offer sponsorship levels for every business' budget.

Our next issue of the ROAR is scheduled for November 14th.  If you would like to submit content, please use the link below.  Thanks for keeping our Bobcat community informed!
