Art from the Heart - Become a sponsor today!

Picture
Art from the Heart 2021 is right around the corner (April 19-23)! This event, now in its thirteenth year, raises funds for Mary B. Austin's PTA-supported, year-round art program that benefits ALL students in our school. This event wouldn't be the success that it is without the support of the many individuals and businesses who have supported us over the years. Sponsors play an important role in Art from the Heart, especially this year as our event will be held virtually and without our usual silent auction. We are seeking individuals, families, and businesses who would like to be a part of this great event through a monetary contribution. If you or someone you know is interested, please click here to learn more and pledge your support. All sponsors will be recognized on the PTA Facebook page and PTA website. For more information on sponsorships, contact Hill Aeiker (Mary B. Austin parent, and Art from the Heart volunteer).

Calling all 3rd grade parents: March Teacher/Staff Treats

To show our love and gratitude, the PTA coordinates with a different grade level each month to provide our teachers/staff with some special treats or snacks. In February, our second grade parents provided Bake My Day cookies and our teachers/staff were thrilled with their sweet treat (see photos above). Now its time for our third grade parents to show our faculty some love! Third grade parents have the month of March and are collecting donations to provide all teachers and staff with a coffee treat from Yellowhammer coffee. Thank you to those who have already contributed. Third grade parents still wishing to help out can send a contribution via Venmo to @Austin-PTA. For questions or more information, contact your child's room parent or class representative.
