Why Join PTA?

(This is a direct quote from the national PTA website)

"The number-one reason to join the Parent Teacher Association is to benefit 
your child. In doing so, you also help your school. But there are many more 
advantages. Here are just a few:

Get Connected.  There's no better way to know what's happening in your 
school.

Discover Great Resources.  The PTA offers a variety of programs designed for 
parents as well as students.

Tap into a Network.  Parenting is not easy. it helps to share ideas, concerns 
and experiences with other parents and educators in the community. PTA 
functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, building 
rapport and discussing issues that are on your mind. 

Watch Yourself Grow.  By volunteering with your PTA, you gain valuable 
experiences. It's an opportunity to put your skills and hobbies to good use 
for a good cause. your child and all children in the community.

Speak Up.  Because the PTA is a forum for exchanging ideas, you are 
encouraged to make suggestions. PTA can be a way for you to more effectively 
suggest change at your child's school.

Witness Improvement.  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. all vital to a school's success.

Be a Role Model. By becoming a PTA member, you'll be demonstrating to your 
child the importance you place on education."

How do I join the PTA?

At the beginning of every school year, the PTA volunteers will send a 
welcome packet along with a membership envelope home with your child.  
You can also join at any time throughout the year. Your membership is good 
for one full year from the day you join.  Membership envelopes are 
available in the main office.

How do I recycle ink cartridges?

We have our display in front of the school in our bulletin board area.  Take 
a postage paid plastic envelope, drop your cartridge in and put it in the 
box next to the table or you can take a postage paid plastic envelope from 
the display and pop it in the mailbox yourself.  For larger 
cartridges, bring them to the office. Old Cellular phones are also accepted.
