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 succeeding in school. As a PTA member, you are more likely to be an informed, involved parent. The 21st Century are dangerous times and parents should learn ways to keep their children safe, trouble-free and involved in school. PTA is the place to gain that knowledge.

PTA provides opportunities to meet and to talk with other parents and teachers 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. 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, 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 our local community, but to have input in major legislative and policy issues affecting children throughout the state.

Membership at Sycamore Elementary for the 2006-2007 school year is only $5.00 per individual. Contact Sycamore PTA 3rd Vice President Karen Slaughter to inquire about your membership today!
