Sendera Ranch Elementary PTA

☀️🛝 **POP-UP PLAY DATE!** 🏃‍♀️⚽

No school Monday means it’s the perfect excuse to get the kids out of the house and burn off some energy! 🙌

Come hang out with us for a casual **Pop-Up Play Date at Haslet Park!** There’s no schedule and no agenda—just kids playing, parents visiting, and a fun afternoon together. 💚🧡

📅 **Monday, October 12**
⏰ **12:00–2:00 PM**
📍 **Haslet Park**

⚽ Bring balls, outdoor games, bubbles, scooters, or whatever your kids like to play with!
🪑 Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, drinks, sunscreen, snacks, and anything else your family needs to settle in and enjoy the afternoon.

🍭 **SRE PTA will have a little treat for everyone attending!**

Pack up the kids, grab your outdoor gear, and come play! Stay for the whole time or just pop by for a little while—we’d love to see our Longhorn families there! 💚🧡

**See you at the park!** ☀️

🎉 Introducing the SRE PTA Community Partner Program! 💚🧡

A little while back, we asked our Longhorn families to tag their favorite local businesses and business owners who love supporting their community. You gave us some amazing recommendations, and now we can finally share why we asked!

SRE PTA is excited to officially launch our new Community Partner Program, giving local businesses an opportunity to support the programs and experiences we provide for our students, staff and families while gaining visibility within our Longhorn community.

We have partnership opportunities for businesses of all sizes, starting at just $25:
🤘 Longhorn Friend — $25
🥉 Bronze — $100
🥈 Silver — $200
🥇 Gold — $300
💎 Platinum — $500

Each level offers different recognition and promotional opportunities throughout the school year, and every partnership helps us do more for SRE!
And to all of the businesses our families recommended: we haven't forgotten about you! We'll be reaching out soon to introduce ourselves and personally invite you to become part of our Community Partner Program.
Know a business that would be a great fit? Tag them below or share this post with them!

Want more details? The link to sign up as a Community Partner will be posted in the comments 👇. You can also email us at [email protected]
