Parkside PTA

The National PTA (over 7 million members) develops programs and the materials you need to conduct programs locally. It also provides numerous publications including OUR CHILDREN, one of the best parenting magazines available. 

Maryland PTA (230,000 members) coordinates programs and provides resources throughout the state on behalf of children. They organize volunteers to represent PTA views in your state and federal legislature. 

Our Local PTA (106 members at Parkside Elementary PTA last year) works independently to promote the welfare of children in our school and community.  We work together with principals, superintendents, school boards and other community leaders to make sure your concerns are heard and needs are met.
