Why Join the PTA?
   

The National PTA is the largest volunteer child advocacy organization in the United States. A not-for-profit association of parents, educators, students, and other citizens active in their schools and communities. PTA is a leader in reminding our nation of its obligations to children. 

When you join your school's PTSA, you join millions of others who care about issues that affect our children. Children and violence. Children and TV. Children and the Internet. And of course, children and school. Membership is open to anyone concerned with the education, health, and welfare of children and youth.

There is strength in numbers and that is true for PTA/PTSA as for any other organization. A healthy membership will result in a stronger school community.

The fact is your school community needs your help. Your school values your opinion and by joining your school's PTSA you will not only become a better informed parent on the issues your school faces on a daily basis such as increased budget cuts, but you can offer solutions that will assist all the children, parents and staff in your school community.

Our children belong to a New Millennium and their health, welfare, safety and education will be supported by your membership.

"It Takes A Whole Village To Raise A Child" and not just a few parents who are already benefiting from the services, opportunities, support, training, and communications through their school's PTSA. Represent your child, their friends, their class, their peers and your school. Get to know your school administrators, the faculty, and other parents that have one goal together - the health, welfare, safety and education of each and every child in your school community.

Please join today - you WILL truly make a difference not just to your school, but to all children. Remember, by joining your local PTSA unit you have a voice.
