Recent Updates & Additions
Local unit PTAs like Brookside work within their own schools
to enrich the educational experience for students, support families,
and build community. We raise monies for materials, after-school
programs, field trips, assemblies and more, and organize hundreds
of volunteers every year to help make Brookside the great school
it is. In addition, we are connected to the Washington State PTA
and the National PTA, both of which provide powerful lobbying
efforts on behalf of all children. For more than 100 years, PTA
has been at the forefront of issues affecting children, parents
and public schools. PTA is credited with lobbying for establishing
kindergarten in public schools, hot lunch programs, juvenile justice
and child-labor laws, school bus safety and TV ratings efforts,
to name a few.
If you have not yet joined the PTA or have not renewed your
membership, please visit our Membership
