P.T.A. These three small initials stand for something really big:
Parent Teacher Assn. What a strong liaison this can make with the
cooperation of those involved.
Many parents and teachers make their monetary membership donation
to PTA and leave it at that. Some attend PTA meetings and voice their
opinions, while others volunteer their time and talents when needed.
Some do all three.
Most schools are grateful for any one of the above, and hopefully
this year during your membership drive, you are able to oblige. Join
PTA! Get involved!
A must-attend event in the early weeks of school is Back to School
Night. This is an adults-only evening that gives parents the
opportunity to meet their child's teacher and learn about their
curriculum and responsibilities for the coming year.
Teachers are very appreciative of a big turnout at this event. It
means that parents care about their child's education.
