Why join the PTA?
The PTA has been SO active supporting our amazing educators & staff, providing enrichment for our children, and tending to the well-being of our community. Please take a moment to read the Seawell PTA Fall 2024 Review.
The number one reason to join the Seawell Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is to benefit your child. In doing so, you also help your school. But there are many more advantages:
Get Connected. There’s no better way to know what’s happening in your school. View the current PTA contact directory.
Be a Role Model. By becoming a PTA member, you’ll be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education.
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.
Speak Up. The PTA can be a way for you to more effectively suggest change at your child’s school.
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 the community.
