PTA
The PTA is the nation's oldest, largest and highest profile volunteer organization working on behalf of public schools, children and families, with the motto:
"Every child, one voice."
PTA volunteers work in their schools and communities to improve the education, health and welfare of all children and youth. The PTA also advocates at national, state and local levels for education and family issues.
Each year in August the PTA kicks off its Membership Drive. Each unit in El Segundo (High School PTA, Middle School PTSA, Center Street PTA and Richmond Street PTA ) has a yearly membership fee of $10.00. A portion of this money is distributed to the Council, District, State and National PTA. It is with these funds that the District, State and National PTAs offer training for positions and also works to improve legislation.
The PTAs also fundraise and with these funds offer assemblies, field trips and much needed supplies for the schools. Thank you for supporting our fundraisers throughout the year and therefore, our students.
Anyone may attend a PTA meeting at the school sites whether you are a member or not. Attending a PTA meeting is one way individuals can find out what is happening within their school, community, and of course about the PTA. Each of the PTAs meet monthly so if you are unaware when your schools unit meets please don’t hesitate to contact the President or the school. Check out the "Contacts" link at right and we look forward to seeing you at a PTA gathering very soon!
