What is PTA?

PTA is a grassroots organization made up of parents, teachers and others around the state who have a special interest in children, families and schools.
 
 

What does PTA do?

PTA’s work for children, meet together, study problems, support teachers, volunteer in schools, attend workshops on parenting and become informed on issues regarding children.
 
 

Why should I join PTA?

  Because of your children and your community. Membership in PTA provides your child and other children around you with a greater chance of achieving in school. Studies have proven that. Being a PTA member, you are more likely to be an informed and involved parent. More than ever, it is important for parents to know ways to keep children safe, trouble free and involved in school. PTA is the best place to do that.
 
 

How can I benefit?

  PTA provides opportunities to meet and talk with other parents who have the same worries as you. Being part of a group results in parental support and makes school involvement easier. PTA also provides educational opportunities at the local as well as state level. PTA will introduce you to a great variety of new activities and opportunities to share your talents. No job is too big or too small for PTA volunteers. Each job helps children, and each volunteer strengthens PTA.
