A Texas PTA Life Member Award is a high honor bestowed upon an individual who has made a worthwhile contribution to the well-being of children and youth. He or she (while usually a member of the PTA) does not have to be a member of the PTA, nor must the service for this honor being bestowed be connected with PTA.

Attention Blue Nation!

This is your chance to represent the BLUE NATION and own an official 2020 Blue Nation T-shirt!  Each year, the Wolf Den PTSA provides the official Blue Nation t-shirt to all 2600+ students and 250 staff members at Plano West Sr. High School free of charge in an effort to promote our "Blue Nation" community. This year, the Wolf Den PTSA is excited to offer the official 2020 Blue Nation T-shirt for purchase to all our Plano West feeder schools!  A portion of the sale of each 2020 Blue Nation t-shirt will be donated directly back to your feeder school PTA as designated when ordering your shirt.  Blue Nation shirts are $10 for Youth Small to Adult XL, $12.50 for Adult 2XL and $13.50 for Adult 3XL with sales tax included and $2 of every shirt purchased will be donated back to the PTA of your choice.  Our hope is to increase our Blue Nation visibility, promote a sense of community among all the Plano West feeder school families & staff, as well as supporting our feeder school PTA programs and campuses because together we are all part of the BLUE NATION!
