PTA TEXAS CONGRESS

Capturing Kids Hearts - The James Bowie PTA provided training in the Capturing Kids Hearts program for Bowie Elementary teachers who had not previously received the training. Capturing Kids Hearts is a research-based process to improve the five key indicators of school performance: fewer discipline referrals, improved attendance, higher student achievement, lower dropout rates, and higher teacher satisfaction.

Hospitality - The James Bowie PTA provides multiple appreciation and hospitality events for the teachers and staff of the school throughout the year. This also includes numerous events during Teacher Appreciation week in the spring. These events are an integral service of the PTA to show the teachers and staff how appreciated they are which in turn benefits the students and the school environment in general.

Accelerated Reader - The James Bowie PTA sponsors the accelerated reader program at James Bowie Elementary, which is available for all students. The program allows students to answer questions for eligible books they have read in order to earn points. Prizes are given to the students once they reach certain point levels.

Field Day - The PTA hosted a field day for the students in the spring of 2023. The event was fully planned and funded by the PTA.
