Countdown to Summer!

This is the last issue of the ROAR for the 2022-2023 school year.  We want to make sure we send you off with plenty of helpful information so you can enjoy the summer and be ready for next school year.  Be sure to read through the entire issue, so you don't miss anything!  Thanks Bobcats!

Baldwin Boot Scootin' Bash

It was so wonderful to see so many of you at our 2023 Boot Scootin' Baldwin Bash!  It was a great evening celebrating as a community, and raising money for our school. Thank you to the committee, the volunteers, the sponsors, the donors, the attendees, and the auction participants.  We could not have done it without each of you.


Pictures of the event from Four Hearts Marketing and Events can be found here.


Photo booth pictures can be found here.


For those that missed it, we hope to see you next time!  

Baxter the Bobcat needs your help in preparing for the 2023-2024 school year.  Please register your student(s) as soon as possible.  By registering now, you can help our school.  Teachers & other staff are allocated to our campus according to enrollment numbers.  Help us make sure we have the right number of teachers when August rolls around!  You can register by visiting your AISD Parent Portal.

Stay Connected!

Like you, the ROAR e-newsletter is taking the summer off.  That doesn't mean you can't stay informed.  Be sure to follow our social media so you can get any Bobcat news over the summer - including Kinder Playdates and pre-ordering school supplies.  Our grade-level pages are a great place for parents to interact and ask questions!  The pages rise with your student, so if you are already a member of your grade level page no need to join again.  Feel free to share with new Baldwin Families!

Senior Walk

Attention Baldwin High School Seniors: Join us in your caps and gowns as we celebrate your hard work and accomplishments in our annual Senior Walk.

Thank you to all of the volunteers that shared their knowledge, creativity, and most importantly their time!  PTA's are powered by volunteers, and Baldwin PTA is no exception!  Whether you are a board member, committee chair, room parent, donated supplies/materials, or someone who shows up when we need you, thanks for making 2022-2023 a great year!  We can't do it without you!


Want to get involved, but not sure how?  Check out some of our open committee positions in the Help Wanted section below.

Financial Reconciliation Committee Volunteers

We need three or more members to volunteer and complete an annual financial reconciliation of all financial transactions for the 2022-2023 school year.  This will ensure that expenditures are properly documented and conform to the approved budget and the PTA's governing documents. The committee usually meets 2-3 times over a two-week period during the summer, for a total of about 5 hours.  Interested? Email treasurer@baldwinpta.org

The Baldwin Botcats Robotics Team is looking for coaches for next years competitive season.  Each pair of coaches will collaborate with their team to complete programming challenges and create a solution for an innovation project.  If you are interested in coaching a team for fourth and fifth grade students during the 2023-2024 school year, please contact Baldwinbots@gmail.com.
