WHAT DOES THE TASHUA PTA DO?

WHERE DO THE PTA FUNDS COME FROM?

To deliver the budget that our programs require, our Fundraising Team oversees one principal fundraiser, where we ask each family to donate $30 or more.  We also raise funds by participating in  General Mills’ ”Box Tops for Education” programs, Stop and Shop A+ Bonus Bucks Program, Big Y Education Express Program, Labels for Education  and other GiveBack Programs.  (See Give back oppurtunities under Give Back Programs in the Committee drop down menu to get signed up.)

WHY SHOULD I BECOME A MEMBER OF THE PTA?

PTA Membership:

· Benefits your child and the school. Research has proven that kids do better in school when parents are involved.  Grades are higher, test scores improve, and attendance increases.

· Connects you to a network. The PTA and its functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, build rapport, and discuss ideas.

· Means more informed parents. Parents involved in the PTA understand the challenges schools face and become part of the solution.  They support improving education – both locally and legislatively – and as a result, schools develop a positive reputation in the community.

· Boosts children’s well-being. PTAs focus on what students need inn order to be successful in school, including the benefits of good nutrition and health, physical fitness, school safety – even starting the day with a nutritious breakfast.

· Gets you connected and gives you a voice. There’s no better way to know what’s happening in your school than by being part of the PTA.  Because the PTA is a forum for exchanging ideas, you are encouraged to make suggestions, and in this way, more effectively create change at your school.

· Improves your skills. By volunteering with the PTA, you gain valuable experiences.  It’s an opportunity to put your skills and hobbies to good use for a great cause!

· Results in school improvement. PTAs play an important role in fundraising, which provides building improvements, curriculum-based programs, and social events – all vital to a school’s success.

· Makes you a good role model. By becoming a PTA member, you’ll be demonstrating to your child(ren) the importance you place on education.
