Nominees Needed for Texas PTA Lifetime Member Award

Texas PTA Lifetime Membership is one of the highest honors that can be presented to an individual for outstanding service to children and youth. Although PTA membership is not required for someone to be nominated, their service must coincide with the goals and purposes of PTA. If someone has received this award previously and has been involved in PTAs for 10 years, then they can be nominated for the Extended Service Award. Email Naomi Calle at parliamentarian@beverlypta.com to nominate someone today!

Donate your gently used shoes & clothing

Be a part of diverting thousands of pounds of shoes and clothing from local landfills by placing in your school’s bin your gently used shoes, clothing, purses, belts, wallets, hats, caps, backpacks, hard toys, stuffed animals and pots and pans. For every pound collected from you, our PTA receives $0.15 per pound. The benefit to you? Neater closets, drawers, toy boxes, and kitchens, and the knowledge that less textile waste will end up in our landfills.

If Beverly can collect 2,500 lbs. or more during Earth Month,World Wear Project will give our school an extra $100. Help out our school by getting your family involved in cleaning out your closets today.
