Plan events for February 8–14, 2009

The PTA national organization is offering awards of $1,897 to local PTAs with plans to celebrate PTA Take Your Family to School Week 2009.

The week, February 8–14, is a special opportunity for schools to open their doors to all families and give parents a unique perspective on students’ school days, give educators openings to build positive partnerships with families, and give kids fun ways to share their school experiences.

Promoting family involvement in children’s education has been at the heart of PTA since its founding in February 1897. Take Your Family to School Week and the $1,897 Awards honor and continue that legacy.

Tell us your plans to celebrate PTA Take Your Family to School Week 2009 and your unit could win $1,897 to support its work.

The awards are funded by AXA Foundation, Proud National Sponsor of PTA.
