Texas PTA NE Council PTA Canyon Ridge PTA
PTA builds bridges between homes and schools, integrating the efforts of parents with those of principals and teachers. When you get involved in PTA, the child who
benefits the most is your own. You also are taking a major step toward improving your child's school, your community, and your state and national education and health policies.
PTA is the largest parent involvement organization in the United States, with nearly 6 million members. PTA was created to better the lives of children, and it continues to flourish because we never lose sight of that goal.
