PTA
The Hexter Elementary Parent-Teacher Association
(PTA) is an active and growing organization. Of teachers and
administrators, 100 percent are dues-paying members. In addition
to raising funds to enhance education at Hexter, the PTA is
extending its role to include outreach and education programs
for Hexter families.
More up-to-date information can be found at the Hexter PTA
website: hexterpta.org
 Hexter
Howl
The annual Hexter Howl 5k, Fun Run, and Carnival is a community
event held each fall just before Halloween. The carnival features
a giant slide, bounce houses, a rock wall tower, carnival
booths, clowns, a petting zoo, great food and music. Carnival
proceeds benefit Hexter Elementary. New in 2007, the 5K and
Fun Run was initiated to promote fun and health awareness.
The 2007 race benefits the Hexter Literacy Library. Both routes
start and finish at Hexter Elementary through the streets
in the Old Lake Highlands neighborhood, where the school is
located.

 White
Rock Home Tour and Art Festival
The White Rock Home Tour and Art Festival is the spring PTA
fundraising event.
The home tour is the area’s only tour to exclusively
feature mid-century modern homes. Held on Earth Day weekend
each April, the tour features five homes in the White Rock
area.
The acclaimed juried art festival has built a reputation for
showcasing the best in fine art that North Texas has to offer.
The art represented includes sculpture, ceramics, paintings,
photography, jewelry and textiles.
Hexter Elementary art students also exhibit their work, and
proceeds from sales support the school.
 Silent
Auction
Hexter Elementary’s annual silent
auction features student art as well as fine art donated by
local artists who specialize in a variety of media, including
oil and watercolor paintings, fine custom jewelry, and textiles.
Additionally, bidders may choose from items in the following
categories: spa/salon, travel, home and garden, sports and
wildlife, kids’ corner and evenings out.
