What are the benefits of joining the PTA?
PTA membership is one of the best ways to stay connected to what’s happening at your child’s school. PTA events and meetings give you the chance to meet other parents and teachers, share ideas and concerns, and be part of meaningful conversations. By getting involved, you can help shape positive changes at WVES while putting your own skills and passions to work for a great cause: supporting the growth and success of every child in our community.
Joining the WVES PTA helps support our school and students through programs, events, and resources that benefit every child. Membership also includes WVES perks like early event access, plus National PTA discounts and resources.
