| Why
Should you Join?.......
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.
* Enjoy Substantial Benefits. Individuals and
local units can take advantage of a host of benfits from PTa membership
including discounts and offers from member benefits providers
and sponsors, magazine subscriptions, leadership training, e-newsletters
and much more. |
