Why do YOU PTA?

PTA provides so many opportunities for our students - like donating supplies, helping with field trips, and offering leadership opportunities. My personal favorite thing PTA offers is the Reflections contest, a chance for each student to share their individual voice and talents to make a difference in our community, our state, and our nation. This is #MySchoolMyTribe so being a part of PTA just feels like a natural choice. That’s why I PTA!

I joined the PTA to enrich my students’ experiences in school. The PTA plans fun nights for the kids and helps at events throughout the year that benefit our school and I wanted to contribute to that. That’s why I PTA!

Christine Holt

I started with WMS PTA three years ago when we were just coming back from COVID. A lot had changed, and I wanted a way to be involved at the school. Since joining PTA, I have learned about the advocacy role PTA plays at the state and national levels. I have rejoined every year to continue building relationships between the school and parents. I enjoy seeing the difference we have made at the school and seeing the things we have provided for the students and school. I also like being a bigger voice to our state and national policy makers. That’s why I PTA!
