Halfway Through, Not Halfway There!

We're not quite on track to meet our

No Hassle Fundraiser goal of $20,000

Can you help us get there?!

Every dollar directly supports our students, teachers and community events that make Baldwin such a special place. Some of the top PTA expense line items include:

$6,000 teacher supply reimbursement

$5,000 yearly copier rental

$4,000 professional development

$3,000 school programs

$1,500 senior scholarships

$1,000 care and share gift cards

$550 p.e. equipment

$200 kinder playdate snacks

We simply cannot do this without your generous support. If you have already donated, THANK YOU! If you haven't donated yet, now is the time! Then share this fundraiser with grandparents, family, friends, and even employers who may want to support our fabulous school community.

Let's come together and finish strong, Bobcats!

Trunk or Treat Hosts Needed!

Calling all creative parents, teachers and volunteers! We need YOU, or at least your Trunk, for this year's Trunk or Treat at Boo Bash!

Bring your trunks, decorations, fun treats and Halloween spirit to celebrate the spooky season! Feel free to incorporate a game to earn treats (candy or non-candy prizes) are welcome.

Trunk or Treat will be open from 4-6p during Boo Bash.

Don't want to host the trunk? Click on the link to sign up to help run a trunk or other activity at Boo Bash!

Baldwin Boo Bash

Volunteers appreciated - sign up to host a trunk or take a turn at one of the activities! Click on the image below to sing up to volunteer.

Please Help Restock the PTA Drink Pantry

We provide a stash of drinks at PTA community events, like Boo Bash and Winter Wonderland. This is a one time ask for each grade to divide and conquer. Pick up a case of drinks on your next HEB run, then have your child drop off at the foyer any time in October:

Pre-K & Kinder: water

1st Grade: Dr. Pepper

2nd Grade: Sprite & Starry

3rd Grade: Coca- Cola & Diet Coke

4th Grade: Sparkling Water

5th Grade: Sports Drinks

We need a little extra help this round - our current ice chest lids broke last year so we hope to replace them with 3 smaller chests. Help us prevent any more smashed toes or fingers! Thank you :)

Sprout School Supply Co-Coordinator

January 2026 - January 2028+

Our current coordinator will be leaving Baldwin in May 2027. Lindsay Calvert has been our fabulous Sprout guru the last couple of years and has graciously offered to train a replacement from Jan 2026 - May 2027. Then you would assume responsibilities - hopefully until your child graduates Baldwin. This rewarding and behind the scenes role is great for people with Pre-K to 2nd graders. Email president@baldwinpta.org / schoolsupplies@baldwinpta.org for more info.
