PTA Membership
Have you ever wondered what a Parent Teacher Association (PTA) Membership actually involves? Some people may wonder if they are signing themselves up to be school volunteers throughout the year or to serve on the PTA Board. While there will be plenty of opportunities to volunteer for different events throughout the year, your membership helps create an engaging learning environment for students and teachers throughout the school year. AJW PTA strives to enhance and support educational experiences, encourage parental involvement, and improve the environment for students and teachers through volunteer support and memberships.
Everyone—parents, educators, students and other community members—is invited to join our not-for-profit PTA. The number one reason to join the PTA is to benefit the student. In doing so, you also help AJ Whittenberg. Join TODAY for only $5! https://ajwhittenbergpta.memberhub.com/store
