A: FAQ is an acronym for "frequently
asked questions."
A: Very little! Whether it's
attending a membership meeting or helping with an event, you decide how
much time you want to spend. Who knows-you might have so much fun
you'll want to do more!
A: As
a PTA member you get to provide valuable input as to the type of
activities the PTA provides for the school, as well as where the money
raised during our fundraisers will be spent.
A: Good question! The majority of the
money goes directly to the payment of our National PTA charter
memberhip. Approximately 1/3 goes directly to support PTA school
activities.
Q: How do PTA's
help kids?
A: The National Parent Teachers Association's mission
is to "Build a Better World for Children". The Olalla PTA helps achieve
this by raising funds for school supplies, books for the library and
new technology for students. The PTA puts on events that bring parents,
teachers and students together.
A: Nope. Attending general meetings is
not required. Everyone is invited, and encouraged to attend.
If volunteering or making a donation is all you are able to do, the
Olalla PTA welcomes your involvement.
Q:
Can I attend a general membership meeting if I'm not a PTA member?
A: Yes! Everyone is
welcome to attend the general membership meetings.
A: By law, businesses cannot be
members of a PTA. However, companies can participate by donating money,
goods or services to the PTA or one of the PTA events. Many of our
community partners have found event participation to be a great way to
reach and participate in growing our community.
