• 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 an 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 an important role in fundraising to provide building improvements, curriculum-based programs, and social events.
• Be a Role Model: By becoming a PTA member, you will be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education.
