Dear Estancia Student:

Do you want to make a difference in your school and community?  Do you wish you could have more say in what happens in your school?  Do you wish parents, teachers and administrators better understood your needs?  Do you think adults should know more about the views of today’s students?

A PTSA membership offers you these kinds of opportunities.  The PTSA is one of the largest volunteer organizations in the world with six million members.  The PTSA is one of the few youth-focused organizations that actually gives students equal vote.  We advocate for issues and laws pertaining to youth; and even before legal voting age, your voice will be heard locally, statewide, and nationwide as a member of a trusted national youth advocacy organization.

Through your PTSA involvement, you can gain leadership experience and learn new skills.  You can improve your school and community by organizing and participating in PTSA programs, addressing health issues, violence prevention, and arts education to name a few. 

Join Estancia PTSA for only $10.  Please fill out the membership form and submit with membership fee to Estancia PTA.  Your perspective will be invaluable to our organization.

Q & A About PTSA

Question: How can our PTA benefit by involving students?

Answer: From the grass roots of our local PTAs to National PTA, students are a vital part of our organization; bringing enthusiasm, energy, fresh ideas and focus to issues that affect them and their communities. Students of all ages are eager to be involved in implementing positive change. Inviting students to join PTA/PTSA is an excellent way to encourage their support and participation as stakeholders in their school community. An effective collaboration of students and adults helps to ensure that PTA/PTSA programs are relevant and serve the needs of the students and the school community.
