Why Join the PTA? - Joining makes a difference

• The number one reason to join the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is to benefit your child
   
• Joining the PTA does not obligate you to volunteer at school or attend PTA meetings—although we hope you will!
   
• There’s no better way to know what’s happening in your school.
   
• The principal comes to the meetings gives updates and informs the PTA with
  what is going on at Kemptown ES
   
• The PTA offers a variety of programs designed for parents as well as students.
   
• 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.
   
• By volunteering with your PTA, you put your skills and hobbies to use for a noble
  cause.
   
• PTA can be a way for you to more effectively suggest change at your child’s school.
   
• By getting involved at your child’s school you’ll be part of the solution, helping make positive changes. Local PTAs play an important role in fundraising to provide building improvements, curriculum-based programs and social events.
   
• PTA membership helps you connect with the school, the staff and other parents and gives you a voice in deciding the direction of the Kemptown PTA. Only members can vote on PTA issues and/or hold a PTA office.
   
• 100% teacher involvement for 2010 – 2011 school year
