• Get Connected ~ There's no better way to know what's happening in your school.

• 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.

• Watch Yourself Grow ~ By volunteering with 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.

• Speak Up ~ Because the PTA is a forum for idea exchange and advocacy, PTA can be a way for you to suggest change more effectively.

• Witness Improvement ~ By getting involved in PTA, you'll help 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 ~ As a PTA member, you demonstrate to your child the importance you place on education.

• Free entry into all after-school events.
• Complimentary food items during events.
