Why Join PTA?

Dear New Prospect Families,

This nation’s PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) has been in existence and working on behalf of children all over the country for more than 100 years and is more than six million members strong. Nationally, the organization’s goal is simple: to change the lives of children for the better. We do this on a local level by executing a number of educational enrichment programs and supporting New Prospect’s staff in their projects.

When you join the PTA, you automatically become a member of the state and national organizations as well. National PTA impacts issues across state lines affecting state legislatures, Capitol Hill and our local School Board. With over 340.000 members in Georgia alone, the PTA has the potential to have tremendous influence with legislators.

The New Prospect PTA, in particular, provides agendas to each student in grades 1-5 and directly funds programs such as:

• Academic Enrichment (Technology, School Play, Meet the Masters, Cultural Arts programs, etc.)
• Family Events (5k run, Snowflakes and Hotcakes)
• Student Activities (Teacher Appreciation Lunches, 5th Grade Farewell)
• Communications (Yearbook, Student Directories, etc.)
• School Beautification

First access to PTA information is sent through an email blast, sent only to members.

Our goal is 100% membership from teachers and parents. There are 3 ways to join:

1. Please return your completed membership information form and your membership fee to Sneak Peek.
2. Send in your completed form and payment with your child to school.
3. Join online using the buttons to the right.

Welcome to the New Prospect PTA! We look forward to a fantastic and fun year!

Sincerely,

Sandee Treece
VP- Business Alliance and Membership
