Highlands Elementary School
PTA Interest Meeting
October 6, 2022

Purpose:

PTA's mission is to make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.

A parent teacher organization (PTO) gives parents and teachers the opportunity to work together to supplement and enrich the educational experience. And with today's tight budgets, a strong, well-functioning PTO can be a teacher's most important ally when it comes to achieving curricular and fundraising goals.
