Membership in the PTA is a great way to show your support for your children.  Its the ideal structure to invest your volunteer time or just your support towards improving the lives of all our children.  They need our involvement all through their school years but seek it most at the elementary school age.  Our children won't pass this way again. As parents, most of us won't either.  Now is the best time to make a difference!

Your membership in a local PTA means:

• Investing in your children's future
  


• Communicating with local and state decision makers on issues and concerns facing today's children
  


• Growing personally and professionally through leadership development
  


• Obtaining valuable resources and materials on parenting, education, health, and safety topics
  


• Uniting with a national association that advocates exclusively on behalf of all children

PTAs serve as a type forum where parents, teachers, administrators, and other concerned adults discuss ways to promote quality education, strive to expand the arts, encourage community involvement, and work for a healthy environment and safe neighborhoods
