PTA Meetings

The PTA meets once each month in the District meeting room at Sundling Junior High to coordinate activities to support Sundling. The executive officers give information about the school, the district, and the Board of Education. A teacher comes to represent the staff and the principal or assistant principal attends to support excellent communication between school and parents. Committees with upcoming activities report on their status.

This is THE way to be in-the-know about what goes on at Sundling Junior High. By staying informed and supporting the school, our children's educational and social experience will be the best it can be!

What is the PTA?

PTA is a private, not-for-profit service organization. The National PTA, of which all local units are members, is the largest volunteer organization advocating on the behalf of children. The organization was founded in 1897 in Washington DC as the National Congress of Mothers by Alice McLellan Birney and Phoebe Apperson Hearst. PTA's mission is:

~To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, community, and place of worship;
~To raise the standards of home life;
~To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth;
~To bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of children and youth;
~To develop between educators and the general public such united effort as will secure for all children and youth the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education.
