FOUNDERS DAY
Each year in February
the National PTA honors the three founders of the PTA, Selena
Butler, Phoebe Hearst and Alice Birney, as well as past and present
PTA leaders by observing Founders Day. This is the perfect time to
renew our dedication to the Purposes of the PTA that were defined by
our founders more than a century ago by honoring those in our
district who have gone above and beyond in their contributions to
the children in our schools.
PTA Council invites you to honor
those who work tirelessly to bridge the gap between home and
school.
