Remarks on PTA Take Your Family to School Week

What people are saying about PTA Take Your Family to School Week

Deborah Fine, President, iVillage Properties
"There is enormous power in community, and at iVillage.com, moms build their online community by connecting each day over questions, issues and advice on raising their kids. At iVillage, we've even coined a term for this — momtourage. PTA's Take Your Family to School Week deploys that power of community by bringing parents into a literal community of moms, because no mom goes it alone. The power of our community only reflects the exceptional power of moms—there is no greater combination!"


Roland Warren, President, National Fatherhood Initiative
"An involved, responsible and committed father can safeguard his children from poor academic performance, disciplinary problems, and dropping out of school. Dads can also play a key role in their children's academic success.... With this in mind, we at the National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI) are seeking to increase the involvement of fathers in the education of their children. We are proud to partner with the work you and the National PTA are doing. In particular, we are excited about Take Your Family to School Week.... This event is a great way for fathers to get involved with their child's schooling and for families to come together under the cause of education."


Bryan Davis, Director, All Pro Dad
"As countless studies have shown, a student's academic achievement is directly related to his home environment....That's why we're so excited about Take Your Family to School Week sponsored by the National PTA. This a great event to teach parents that they matter more than they can possibly imagine to a child's future success. And that school is not just for children, but moms, dads and guardians are also a vital part of education."
