Here are just a few: Get Connected!! There is no better way to know what is 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!! Parenting is not easy - it helps to share ideas, concerns and experiences with other parents and educators in the community. PTA functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, building rapport and discussing issues that are on your mind. Watch Yourself Grow!! By volunteering with your PTA, you gain valuable experiences. It’s an opportunity to put your skills and hobbies to good use for a good cause - your child and all children in the community. Speak Up!! Because the PTA is a forum for exchanging ideas, you are encouraged to make suggestions. 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 PTA’s play an important role in fundraising to provide building improvements, curriculum-based programs, and social events - ALL vital to a school’s success. Be a Role Model!! By becoming a PTA member, you’ll be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education. ___________________________________________________________________________________
