Bowling for Scholars is the LISD Council of PTAs’ big annual fundraiser — we use the money raised for two scholarships at each LISD high school.
What is Dressed to Learn?
The Lewisville ISD PTA Council Dressed to Learn program provides clothing items to LISD students in need who may be experiencing: Financial hardship, homelessness, parent/guardian unemployment, or home displacement due to fire, etc.
Students in need are identified by Communities In Schools North Texas (CISNT) Site Coordinators or school counselors. Counselors and/or site coordinators visit the Dressed to Learn closet to select items for student. If you know of a student in need, please contact their school counselor or CISNT Site Coordinator.

Does your PTA have some upcoming events or needs that other local PTAs can support? If so, complete our PTA Partners Form below. We have connected over a dozen local PTAs with LISD campuses who were in need of support. These gestures—small donations of time, talents, school supplies, hospitality—go a long way to making ALL LISD campuses feel supported and appreciated for their unique roles in our district.
WHAT IS THE REFLECTIONS PROGRAM?
Reflections is a nationwide program promoting self-expression, artistic literacy, increased confidence, and a love for life-long learning that helps students become more successful in both school and in life. The program focuses on positive recognition instead of competition and students can enjoy the benefits of creative expression, regardless of ability. Over the past 50 years, the program has grown to become one of the largest of its kind in the country with over 300,000 students participating annually across the six entry divisions. Read below for more information. A short 2024-2025 video coming soon!
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
The Reflections program is open to all students who have at least one person from their primary household who is a current PTA member, as per Texas PTA Reflections guidelines. Memberships for the 2024-25 school year will go on sale August 1st. Not a member? It’s not too late to join.
HOW DO YOU ENTER?
Each year, the National PTA selects a theme. The 2024-2025 school year theme is “Accepting Imperfections.” To enter, students complete a work of art around the theme in one of the following categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography and Visual Arts.
