Our Needs

Our Hexter PTA budget supports the needs of more than 500 students, teachers and staff. As a Title 1 school, with a large portion of our community being underserved, we rely on funds raised this year to support necessary programs at our school, to include tutoring needs for students, literacy, our Hexter Mindfulness Program, Hexter Garden Program, new STEM Nights, special outside guest speaker programs, teacher classroom supplies and specials supplies, and general campus maintenance related items to include water filters, janitorial supplies, and playground improvements. At Hexter Elementary, we plant the seed in the minds of all students to begin visualizing sailing into success...for college and beyond. Your funds donated help support this unified effort.

Mission

At Victor H. Hexter Elementary, our PTA supports the Texas and National PTA mission to make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. Our PTA works in concert with our school leaders to provide robust programs to meet the varying needs of all children. Via various fundraising efforts throughout the year, our PTA is passionate about providing funds for literacy, technology, advocacy and special projects, lessening the burden on our district and enabling our community to make an impact both financially and thru volunteer efforts. Throughout the year, we show our continuous support to our faculty and teachers, who have such an important impact on the wellbeing of our greatest asset, our children, for generations to come. We are a large body of volunteers, a caring family, focused on supporting the mind, body and character of every student at Victor H. Hexter Elementary.
