WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PTA PROGRAM’S?
What do we raise money for? To engage and help our students, families, and community through programs! Programs create opportunities for interaction between teachers, administrators, parents, students, and community members. Programs are events planned to build community, provide information, celebrate student success and inspire action.
As a program chair it is your responsibility to create 3 programs per 1 fundraiser. That is the minimum. Don’t let that number limit you! Check out our suggestions for programs down below.
Programs should include the 5 I’s
- Inform – to provide information
- Instruct – to teach how to do something
- Interest – to peak interest in further study
- Inspire – to motivate and gain further information or to act
- Involve – to bring the school together to understand the need for action
