Do Good Things For Your PTA Membership Challenge

"Do Good Things For Your PTA Membership" Challenge is designed to support PTA's in their marketing efforts and to share your PTA's strategies on what your unit is doing for kids.  The new theme is a reminder, that just by joining PTA, you are helping your child and your local PTA, adding your voice to advocacy efforts on behalf of all children sending a strong message that you support children and families.
