WHY JOIN?

The number one reason to join is to help make a difference in your child's education! 

Schooling will be different in many ways for the 2021-22 year, and the best way to be part of the Leopard Family is to join the PTSA and make a difference. With a large membership, we can access many resources and stay informed together. We provide Advocacy, Instructional Grants, Club Dues, Spirit Wear, Newsletters and so much more. 

​
By joining, you are helping the PTSA go above and beyond what the Wake County Public School System school budget provides. Some things that you may think are provided by the school system are actually funded either partially or fully by your PTSA membership dues and donations.  Here are a few examples of what the PTSA has provided in the past:
  • ​Student Enrichment events​
  • Instructional grants
  • 6th Grade Truck Fair
  • Parent Resource Night
  • School-wide visiting Author
  • 8th Grade Poet in Residence
  • Character Education and Student Recognition
  • Positive Behavior Intervention and Support Program
  • Reflections Art Program
  • Additional technology 
  • Student agendas
  • PTSA Website and Newsletter
  • Staff Appreciation events​
  • and much more!

MORE REASONS TO JOIN

MEMBERSHIP
In addition to helping your school, there are many more advantages to joining the MPMS PTSA. As cited on the National PTA website: 

  • Get Connected: ​​ There’s no better way to know what’s happening in your school.​
  • Discover Great Resources: ​The PTSA offers a variety of programs designed for parents as well as students.
  • Tap into a Network: PTSA functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, building rapport and discussing issues that are on your mind. You can share ideas, concerns, and experiences. 
  • Watch Yourself Grow: By volunteering with your PTSA, you put your skills and hobbies to use for a noble cause—your child and all children in the community.
  • Speak Up:  PTSA can be a way for you to more effectively suggest change at your child’s school.
  • Witness Improvement:  By getting involved at your child’s school you’ll be part of the solution, helping make positive changes. Local PTSAs play an important role by supporting building improvements through advocacy and play an important role in fundraising for curriculum based programs and social events.
  • Be a Role Model:  By becoming a PTSA member, you’ll be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education.
  • Enjoy Substantial Benefits:  ​Individuals and local units can take advantage of a host of benefits from PTSA membership including discounts and offers from member benefits providers and sponsors, magazine subscriptions, leadership training, e-newsletters and much more.​​
  • ​For less than 3 cents a day, you can become a PTA member, joining more than 4 million other people who share your interest in issues affecting children. Everyone—parents, educators, students and other citizens active in their schools and communities—is invited to join our not-for-profit parent association.
