The PTA sponsors various programs throughout the year with the children in the classroom.

Reflections
Reflections is an arts awareness program sponsored by the national PTA which offers students the opportunity to create works of art for fun and recognition.

Students can prepare artwork in the categories of literature, music composition, dance choreography, film production, photography, and visual arts. Student projects will be judged at the school level and could go on to compete at the council, state, and national levels.

The 2009 - 2010 Reflections theme was “Beauty is...”

Environmental Awareness
The NHE PTA is committed to teaching our children about environmental awareness and striving to make NHE a green school.  We do this with the following programs:

• National Walk to School day.  Walking to school is a great way to conserve energy, meet your neighbors, and improve your fitness level.  October 7, 2009 is the day to lace up your sneakers and walk to school.
• NHE Green Week is a week of learning and participating in programs for our NHE families to do their part for the environment.  Look for more information to come about 2009-2010 Green Week.
• TX PTA Environmental Awareness Contest. See the Texas PTA site for more information.   The 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 winner was NHE's own Nicholas C.  See Nicholas's Web site that represented the theme “What can I do?”
