PTA Programs

PTA offers a variety of programs to help parents, students, and communities succeed.  PTA presents signature programs such as Healthy Lifestyles as well as annual events such as Start the Art and Teacher Appreciation Week.

PTA encourages parent involvement through its hallmark Family-School Partnerships initiative and the accompanying National Standards for Family-School Partnerships. PTA Reflections is the most successful arts program in the nation, reaching thousands of students each year.

PTA’s Awards programs honor outstanding work. For example, the Hearst Awards recognize local units’ efforts to build family-school partnerships. The Mary Lou Anderson Reflections Arts Enhancement Grants support student-centered arts education programs.

PTA also partners with other organizations to provide even more beneficial programming. For instance, PTA presents Take 25, a safety program developed by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

PTA offers resources for everyone with programs backed by the organization’s long history and expertise in addressing the needs of children, parents and schools. Find out more by accessing the resources below.
