Mark your calendar for the 2013 PTA Auction as we Come Together! Last year, everyone was diggin the scene. Friends, neighbors and family that joined us reprised over and over that they could feel the love. The Beat goes on as we ask our community to Come Together. And coming together is what our Travis family does so well: to rally in support & to embrace one of our own in need, to create our own rainy day fund through the Travis Foundation, to celebrate the joy of childhood and provide for our classrooms at the Carnival, to support Creative Movement, Writers in the Schools, and Outdoor Gardens &

&

Education Centers through the funding raised by Auction. Last year, the heart of Houston lead the way: we came together setting records from the numbers of donations & guests to proceeds raised via Raise the Paddle (Travis Foundation) and the Silent & Live Auctions (PTA programming)! So, fellow parents, with A Little Help from my Friends, We Can Work it Out and make this years the most successful auction yet!
