Why Join? More than 30 years of research shows that children do better when their parents and families are involved both at home and at school. Grades are higher. Test scores rise. Self-esteem grows. Schools improve.

When you join the PTA, you’ll enjoy these and other exclusive member benefits:

• Online parenting resources and other materials on issues related to children’s education, health, and well-being.

• E-newsletters on parenting and legislative issues.

• Special offers and discounts from corporate supporters of PTA (go to www.pta.org/benefits for details).

• Leadership training opportunities, in-person and online.

• Discounted rates for PTA conventions and subscriptions to Our Children magazine, the official magazine of the PTA.

• The Member-to-Member Network connects PTA members to members of Congress when help is needed on issues important to children, families, and schools.

Membership is only $10.00 per person (subject to change annually). Don’t forget to invite other family members and friends to join so they can take advantage of the benefits too!

In addition to parents, we encourage extended family members as well as members of the community to join the Sparks Elementary PTA and take advantage of the benefits also!
