Join the PTA PSA Campaign to promote parent involvement presented by the California State PTA

New videos get to the heart of family involvement!  Click here to watch them online.

Just in time for the new school year, the California State PTA has launched a public service announcement (PSA) campaign to engage families and promote the PTA. These video announcements feature real PTA members speaking straight from the heart about the benefits and rewards of getting involved in their children's public schools. (They were made possible through the generous support of the Pearson Foundation.)

You can help to spread the PTA's message and passion for involvement. Post the link on your local PTA Web site. Encourage schools and school districts to link to them. E-mail them to friends, supporters, and prospective PTA members -- in other words, EVERYONE!

Art classes help our children to build up their self-esteem and increase their social skills... Join California PTA in its efforts to make sure every child has access to arts education... Let's work together... Our kids deserve an integral education...This was a public service announcement of this station.
