WHY JOIN THE PTA?

What is PTA? Why join the PTA? The number ONE reason to join the Parent/Teacher Association (PTA) is to benefit your child. In doing so, you also help your school. But there are many more PTA advantages including:

Get Connected
There's no better way to know what's happening in your school.

Discover Great Resources
The PTA offers a variety of programs designed for parents as well as students.

Tap into a Network
PTA functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, building rapport and discussing issues
that are on your mind. You can share ideas, concerns and experiences.

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 a critical role in fundraising to provide building improvements, curriculum-based programs, and various
   social events.

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

You can become a PTA member, joining more than 5 million other people who share you interest in issues affecting children. Everyone -- parents, educators, students, and other citizens active in their schools and communities -- is invited to join our not-for-profit parent association.
