Why should I join PTSA?

Did you know that PTA is the largest child advocacy association in the nation? Our local unit PTSA
is linked to the state and national organization, forming a nationwide network of members working on
behalf of all children and youth. PTAs serve as a type of forum where parents, teachers, administrators,
and other concerned adults discuss ways to promote quality education, strive to expand the arts,
encourage community involvement, and work for a healthy environment and safe neighborhoods.
Get involved! Help be an advocate for your children and join PTSA!

Why does the PTSA raise money during the year, and on what is the money spent?

Schools budgets have been cut tremendously in the past few years. The PTSA tries to fill the gap
created by these budget cuts so that your child has the best possible experience at school. PTSA
provides numerous incentive awards for students throughout the year, such as perfect attendance rewards,
accelerated reader awards, spelling bee tropies, FCAT medals, field day awards, end-of-year awards
and much more! In addition, we host several functions for our teachers, such as a "welcome back breakfast"
and recognition during "teacher appreciation week." We also pay for some supplies, such as lamination paper
used by the entire school. In previous years, we have paid for the electronic school marquee, keyboards for
the music department, CPR training equipment for the PE department, cap and gowns for the kindergarten class,
and custom murals in the PE shelter area and cafeteria.
The budget is voted on at the very first meeting in the fall.
