Q: Why should I join the PTA? What is in it for me?
A: There are many advantages to joining and volunteering for the Byron Kibler PTA. Here are a few:
· A sense of accomplishment for helping with your child’s educational experience.
· Opportunity to make new friends in the community that has children that go to school with yours. You also get to interact with teachers and other school staff.
· Use of your abilities. Maybe your passion is art, but your day job is computers. The PTA has an art program that will allow you to spend time doing something you love while volunteering to help your children’s school.
· PTA membership provides discounts at companies such as Barnes and Noble, AIG insurance, Southwest Airlines, and T-Mobile (to name a few)
· Recognition for your hard work and appreciation from others.
· Volunteer experience looks great on a resume
