Convention offers students a great way to build leadership skills, have a voice on issues, and interact with PTA members from around the state.
Students are encouraged to take advantage of workshops – several are developed specifically by and for students. Take a look below at the workshops to see what’s in store for students at convention.
- Children under 12 – Parents may register children under 12 at no charge onsite at convention. Special badges will be issued allowing them to accompany a parent to activities on a space-available basis.
- Children 12 and older – Must register and pay student registration fees.
