Are you concerned about Maine's
children and their future?
Founded in 1916, the Maine PTA
is an independent organization of parents, educators, students
and other citizens active in their schools and communities. It
is the oldest and largest volunteer child advocacy organization
in the state. Membership is available to any one who cares about
the health, education and welfare of children and youth.
Our grassroots network of over
100 local PTA units and 3,500 members is uniquely situated to
influence the lives of youth-we are organized where the children
are. Our local PTA leaders work out of their homes and from schools,
with teachers, school leadership, community agencies and civic
leaders, to develop family and community-building programs. They
are champions for children and involve themselves in local, state
and sometimes national efforts to impact their health, education
and welfare.
Members of a local PTA automatically
become members of the state and national PTA and hence the PTA's
far reaching voice for children. Membership does not equal active
involvement but by becoming a member you demonstrate your support
for our mission and purposes (see our home page).
We invite you to become part
of this state wide network of child advocates and Maine's voice
for children by joining PTA here, on-line, today! When we receive
your application and fee, you will receive a membership card
and the most recent issue of the Maine PTA Connection, our quarterly
newsletter.
Simply fill out and submit the
form below and mail your check for $25.00 separately. You will
be put on our mailing lists to receive our newsletter and notice
of upcoming events and activities sponsored by the Maine PTA.
