Texas PTA award winner
Congratulations to Helms PTA,
One of two winners of the inaugural Texas PTA DEI Impact Award
Each PTA has committed to Texas PTA’s mission to “make every child’s potential a reality” continually being a voice for all children by ensuring their work is mission-driven and equitable in the areas of membership, leadership, program content, advocacy, training, partnerships, and communications.
Helms Elementary won with the following submission:
“Our PTA believes celebrating and educating our community of the differences our children represent brings us together as a community. We accomplish this by celebrating our differences with important events such as: The All Abilities Play Date, Black History Month Events, Hispanic Heritage Festival, Loteria night and Lunar New Year Lion dances. We believe in creating awareness by inviting our community to celebrate differences such as wear red for dyslexia and light it up blue for autism.”
