Family involvement in children's education increases student success in school--and has been at the heart of PTA since its founding in February 1897.

With PTA Take Your Family to School Week and the $1,897 Awards, we honor and continue our legacy of building family-school partnerships for the benefit of all children.

Join PTAs across the country in connecting parents to children's school experiences. Be part of PTA Take Your Family to School Week, February 8-14, 2009.
