WHAT DOES PTA DO?
PTAs work for children. PTAs meet together, study 
problems, support 
teachers, volunteer in schools, attend workshops on parenting and become 
informed on issues regarding children and youth. As a result, PTA members 
become better parents, teachers and citizens.
WHY SHOULD I GET INVOLVED?
Because of your children and because of your 
community. Studies have shown 
that membership in PTA provides your child and other children around you 
with a greater chance of achieving in school. As a PTA member, you are more 
likely to be an informed, involved parent. These are dangerous times for 
parents to learn ways to keep children safe, trouble-free and involved in 
school. PTA is the place to gain that knowledge. 
HOW CAN I BENEFIT?
PTA provides opportunities to meet and to talk with 
other parents who have 
the same worries as you. By sharing common concerns, you will feel more 
empowered to do the tough job of parenting. Being part of PTA results in 
parental support and makes school involvement easier. You will no longer 
feel ?all alone? in raising your child. PTA also provides educational 
opportunities. From local-level parent education meetings to the Texas PTA 
Annual Convention, PTA encourages learning and the sharing of 
accomplishments. Ultimately, PTA provides the opportunity to serve, to 
volunteer and to contribute to the welfare of all children, because children 
represent our future. PTA will introduce you to a great variety of new 
activities and opportunities to share your special talents. PTA will give 
you opportunity, not only to impact your local community, but to have input 
in major legislative and policy issues affecting children throughout the 
state.
