Join the PTA #FAAMILY

PTA is no longer a noun. It’s a verb – an action plan working to support your child’s success.

It’s an invitation to every family in every school to participate because we can do more together than we can do apart.

There’s no wrong way to PTA – just as long as you’re doing it for your child. You can give money by joining and donating. You can volunteer time and effort. Or you can help grow our strength and presence at the local, state, or national level as an advocate for improving your child’s education.
