Why Join the PTA?

PTA's mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. Your membership helps to support our school, thereby setting up our students for success. Everyone benefits when you support students!

PTA Reflections 

 

ACMS PTA Contact: Arts in Education Chair Dana Giep, reflections@acmspta.org

 

Reflections is a National PTA sponsored arts recognition program that encourages artistic expression. Students are challenged to use their imagination to create a film, song, artwork, photograph, poem, short story or dance routine. Students can enter as many times as they would like in as many categories as they would like.  

 

Texas PTA has made participation in the Reflections program a member benefit. At least one person from the student’s primary household must be a current member of their local PTA. If you are unsure if you are a member or need financial assistance, please contact ACMS PTA Membership at membership@acmspta.org or click on the "Join PTA" button under Quick Links on the Home page.  Memberships need to be renewed each year beginning in August.  

 

Arbor Creek has a wide array of talented students! We hope to see high participation in the program this year.  An ACMS Arts Show and Celebration is planned every year for everyone to showcase their entries!
