PTA Committees

Communications

This committee is focused on organization of all communication outlets. Updating calendars, making marketing designs, making it visually easier for parents to find information about the PTA. Have any background in design work? Join us and help us expand!

Fine Arts / Little EAST

This committee helps come up with fun ways for families to engage with the Fine Arts Academy at Blackshear. We sign up for the Annual East Austin Studio Tours and turn our school into an art gallery, our students perform their musical instruments, the drama club does Shakespeare and improv shows, and host a silent auction. Join this committee if you want to help support fine arts at Blackshear!

Fundraising

This committee comes up with new and creative ways to support Blackshear, financially. They also maintain PTA Friday Snack sales, held the First Friday of every month after school is over! Join this committee if you want to help support Blackshear, financially!

Teacher Appreciation

This committee helps organize fun ways to show Blackshear Teachers a little appreciation. We try to have something planned once a month, like coffee & treats in the Breakroom, getting missing supplies, and providing opportunities for Teacher Self-Care like providing massages one month or gift cards to local businesses the next.

Spring Events

This committee will plan and execute spring community events, like the HONK parade, a day of service, and our We Love Blackshear Day. 

Garden

This committee helps connect families interested in campus beautification. We look for ways to make sure we are being considerate of the planet and plan ways to get involved with the outdoors! Join this committee if you like getting dirty, recycling, and gardening. 
Coming together is a beginning;
Keeping together is progress;
