Why join 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 PTA advantages:
• Get Connected. There’s no better way to know what’s happening in your school.
• Tap into a Network. PTA functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, building rapport and
discussing issues that are on your mind. You can share ideas, concerns, and experiences.
• Speak Up. PTA can be a way for you to more effectively suggest change at your child’s school.
• Witness Improvement. Local PTAs play an important role in fundraising to provide building improvements,
curriculum-based programs, and social events.
• 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 benefits from PTA
membership including discounts and offers from member benefits providers and sponsors, magazine subscriptions,
leadership training, e-newsletters and much more.
For less than 3 cents a day, you can become a PTA member, joining more than 5 million other people who share your
interest in issues affecting children. Everyone—parents, educators, students and other citizens active in their schools and
communities—is invited to join our not-for-profit parent association.
Each Membership is $6
