About Girlstart
The world’s greatest challenges need new STEM ideas and insights. Half of the world’s potential ideamakers— women and girls—are discouraged from developing vital STEM ideas. We believe that more girls with more ideas will create more solutions to benefit us all. To address this, Girlstart increases girls’ interest and engagement in STEM through innovative, nationally recognized informal STEM education programs.
At Girlstart, we cultivate a culture where risk is rewarded, curiosity is encouraged, and creativity is expected. As a result, Girlstart girls are connected, brave, and resilient. Girlstart makes girls more successful and inspires them to take on the world’s greatest challenges.

The yearly WOF Celebration is not a fundraiser;
however, the WOF Committee members understand the need that PWHS has for
instructional, student activity, and grounds maintenance support that is not covered in its

Committee established a Legacy Fund to help provide support for some of these
needs. We urge you to consider making a
contribution to this fund on November 8.
There will be a committee member on duty to accept your contributions
onsite with an immediate receipt provided.
These contributions will transmit quickly to the Financial Manager for
PWHS where they will be processed in accord with HISD financial
procedures. All will be acknowledged in writing to your home or business address
and are tax deductible. Your support of
this effort, as well as the raffle described above, is appreciated by the
school's faculty, staff, and students.
Homecoming:
PWHS's Homecoming will also be celebrated the
week of November 8 with the Homecoming Parade and Game scheduled for Saturday,
November 11.
Hope you can Join us!

Wildflower Planting Saturday Nov. 4th - Please Confirm Participation with Lisa! Thanks Elwyn for sharing!
My apologies for the extremely late notice, but we have a wildflower planting event this Saturday at 9 a.m. along Brays Bayou at MacGregor Park, and I would like to know if you want to participate.
This event is part of the City of Houston Parks and Recreation Department’s annual Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Planting event, and to help manage volunteers, the Houston Parks Board is gathering volunteers to plant wildflowers along the bayous.
Planting is easy, and all you need to do is simply spread the seeds from cups which will eventually bloom into colorful blankets of wildflowers in the spring! Items to wear/bring to the event: pants, sneakers with socks, hat (optional), long sleeve shirt (if sensitive to the sun), sunscreen and water.
Please let me know if you can join this wonderful event.
Thank you,
Lisa
