For Immediate ReleaseAug. 11, 2017Contact:Bret ThomasPublisher, PTO Today800-644-3561, ext. 242bthomas@National School Parent Group Day Celebrates the Work of School PTOs and PTAsWrentham, Mass.—School parent groups nationwide will join in observing the first National School Parent Group Day on Sept. 28, 2017. The event, sponsored by PTO Today, recognizes the hard work PTOs and PTAs do to make their schools even better places for students.“Across the country, school parent groups provide countless volunteer hours and financial support that helps make schools stronger. National School Parent Group Day was created to applaud the work parent volunteers do behind the scenes and to help raise the profile of school parent groups,” said Bret Thomas, publisher of PTO Today. More than 83,000 school parent groups support K-8 schools in the U.S. Parent groups go by many names—PTO, PTA, HSA, PTC, and PCC, to name a few. While the groups vary in size and scope, they share the common goal of supporting schools so students can be more successful.School parent groups support schools in three key ways: by providing volunteers, by funding items not included in school budgets, and by helping build connections between home and school. Thanks to the hard work of parent volunteers, schools have more of what students need to thrive, from volunteer tutors to new playground equipment and library books. When parents are involved in school, their children have better educational outcomes.While the amount of money groups raise and spend varies greatly, our 2015 survey of leaders showed that school parent groups prioritize spending in these areas:Student enrichmentSchool equipment or renovationsTechnology purchasesTeaching aids and classroom suppliesFamily eventsTeacher and staff appreciationGo to parent-group-day for more information about National School Parent Group Day.PTO Today is an essential resource for leaders of parent groups (often called parent-teacher organizations) at elementary and middle schools across the United States.
