This year’s School Board Recognition Month (SBRM) theme is “Rising Above.” Staff can work with students to create certificates, notes, cards, and posters of appreciation thanking board members. Parents can encourage their PTA or PTO membership to pass a SBRM proclamation and present it to their trustee.

Visit the Texas Association of School Boards website for more ideas, sample certificates, educational materials, and graphics for SBRM.
