PTA Mission Statement

PTA builds bridges between homes and schools, integrating the efforts of parents with those of principals and teachers.  When you get involved in PTA, the child who benefits most is your own; you are taking a major step toward improving not only your child’s school and community, but also your state and national education and health policies.

Our Purpose:

• To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, and community.
• To raise the standards of home life.
• To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth.
• To bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of children and youth.
• To develop between educators and the general public such united efforts as will secure for all children and youth the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education.
