Chaperone field trips? Help with student parties? Volunteer at book fairs?

Of course, as parents and volunteers, we all find ourselves serving pizza or attending a play on occasion….

But it is important that you know as a member of PTA, you do so much more. Your dues paid to the Virginia PTA and National PTA ensures your voice is heard on important issues.

By belonging to your local PTA, you are doing much more for your kids than you know! As a PTA member, you are one of nearly 400,000 members in Virginia and 6.5 million members nation-wide working for children.

The PTA, nationally and here in town, is committed to bringing home and school together. PTA promotes the welfare of children throughout the community, works to secure laws for the care and protection of children and youth, and seeks to develop united efforts between educators and the general public so that children have the highest educational advantages.

The Southeastern PTA is embarking on a new year full of promise and high expectations for success. Parents and teachers work together to improve the lives of children and youth through programs and projects sponsored by the PTA.

Please take a moment to consider the invaluable role PTA has played in public education.

I hope we can count on your membership this year to make these plans a reality.

Thank you for your consideration and for all that you do every day for the children at Southeastern Elementary.

Sincerely,

Jeannet Barr
