Happy Holidays!

Local Unit PTA Contacts have been updated for the 2011-2012 school year.

I am proud to announce that we have active PTAs at ALL 25 of our schools! Thanks to all of our amazing leaders and volunteers for making it happen!

PTA Presidents should have received a VA PTA mailer in a big brown envelope mailed to the school within the last 2 weeks. It has information you need, including Citizenship Essay Contest information. Contact the VA PTA if you haven't received your packet.
