Together We…Make A Difference Across California
This year, California State PTA invites you to be part of something bigger.
Through our “Together We” campaign, we’re celebrating the strength, diversity, and unity of PTA members from every corner of the state. From the redwoods to the desert, the coastline to the capital…every member, every voice, every action matters.
Join us on a journey that honors our shared purpose: to positively impact the lives of all children and families. Let’s show what we can do…TOGETHER!
