of children and youth in schools, in the community and before governmental
bodies and other organizations that make decisions affecting children.
* To assist parents in developing

*To encourage parent and public
involvement in the public schools of this nation.

Welcoming
Our PTA does an exceptional job of keeping parents informed about
early adolescence. This is accomplished by providing each student
with a SchoolMate Agenda/Handbook, publishing
"Twister Talk," the school newsletter, every other month
providing brochures and reading material at Back-To-School Night and
American Education Week, as well as resource books in the parent section
of the school Media Center.
