As the school year starts, it's a good time to encourage parents to join the PTA. Every parent should be involved with their children's education and a great way to get involved is to join the PTA.
You will not only be helping your children, you also will be helping our schools. PTA volunteers are an essential component of our school system. Money raised by PTA volunteers goes toward classroom supplies and helps fund valuable extracurricular activities and field trips.
Our schools need help. Be a part of the solution. For more information or to join, call your child's school or the PTA at (319) 558-2124 or e-mail
