CONNECTIONS: JOIN PTA

Watch Yourself Grow. By volunteering with your PTA, you put your skills and hobbies to use for a noble cause—your child and all children in the community.

Speak Up. PTA can be a way for you to more effectively suggest change at your child’s school.

Witness Improvement. By getting involved at your child’s school you’ll be part of the solution, helping make positive changes. Local PTAs play an important role by supporting building improvements through advocacy and play an important role in fundraising for curriculum based programs and social events.

Be a Role Model. By becoming a PTA member, you’ll be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education.

Enjoy Benefits. There are a host of benefits from PTA membership including discounts, magazine subscriptions, leadership training, e-newsletters and much more.
