Have you been to a PTA meeting? Do you know what PTA is and does at Excel Academy? Yes, I have attended PTA at Excel. Yes, I know what PTA is and does at Excel.
Shirley Igo, the National PTA president claims, "Now more than ever, PTA has be an organization that, not only welcomes, but also embraces diversity." Do you feel this is true of the PTA at Excel Academy? Yes.
What would you like to see in the PTA at Excel Academy? More parents attending and getting to know other parents and their children. And for the school to allow parents to interact with teachers, staff, and children a little more.
As a parent of 8 children attending public schools, I belonged to and was very active in our PTA. Our PTA was excellent in helping parents be involved with their children's education as well as helping those new to the country be active.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughtful post and support of the PTA. My mom was the president of the PTA when I was growing up. I was able to see firsthand the benefits of a strong PTA. She said the ways to get people active are food, fast, and easy. Meetings should always have food (motivating), they should be fast, and at a time that is easy for parents. She liked to hold meetings right after people dropped their students off at school.
