ELEMENTARY PTA |

A national survey said 49% of parents
replied, ”They were
never asked to join the PTA”, in
response to why they had not joined.
Please join us, in whatever capacity that you can!! If
all that you can do is pay your $5 membership fee and come to a dinner or
buy a roll of wrapping paper, IT STILL MAKES A DIFFERENCE! Your child
will notice. Want more info? Email us at
phillippipta@gmail.com or pick up a membership form in the front office.
If there is a financial problem in funding a membership, please let us or
Tammy Peters know. There are many other ways in which you can help and
we would love to have you.
Why
Should I Join The PTA
The number-one reason to join the
Parent Teacher Association is to
benefit your child. In doing so, you
also help your school. But there are
many more advantages. Here are just
a few:
Get Connected.
There’s no better way to
know what’s 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 PTAs 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.
