Friend to Friends
"Leslie Milder served as our keynote speaker at our Back-to-School Convocation, and she knocked it out of the park! She captured the hearts and the attention of our 600 employees, board members, and friends of Elgin ISD through her stories, her "boots-on-the-ground" experiences as a public educator, and her candid "call-to-action" to let our voices be heard. The response from our staff was overwhelmingly positive! She was inspiring, motivating, and funny! Leslie is not just a great speaker; she is truly a friend of public education and a friend of Elgin ISD -- our Army of ONE: One Town, One Team, One Family! Thank you, Leslie, for your commitment to public education!"
Dr. Jodi Duron
Elgin ISD Superintendent

Join the Friends of Texas Public Schools Network!
Great things are happening in our Texas public schools! We want to continue sharing that story with Texans across the state, and we need your help to continue our work. Every fall for the last decade, you received our posters featuring some of your most impressive achievements. We hope they serve as a daily reminder to you and your staff that your hard work is making great things happen for Texas students.
We invite all public school districts in Texas to be part of our Friends of Texas Public Schools Network for the 2016-17 school year. If you haven't been a member of our Network before, we hope you will consider joining us this year. Membership is just $300 annually. Your district can join more than 250 school districts already enrolled in our Network, helping us promote what's right in our Texas public schools via our website featuring the many achievements of Texas public schools, social media, a monthly e-newsletter to 22,000 subscribers, general marketing, editorials, posters mailed to every school campus and superintendent, and speaking engagements at schools and in communities across the state.
Thank you for considering this invitation.
God Bless,
Leslie and Scott Milder
