Why are you involved in PTA?: I started because I knew my child’s education would be the most successful if I was a partner with her educators. I continue because I have seen the real impact PTA has on families and students at a local level and the amazing advocacy that happens on the state and national levels. Making sure the children’s voices are heard is the heart of what we do and I believe in that so fully.
