In honor of PTA’s 125th Anniversary, we are asking cities, counties, and school boards throughout California to recognize PTA. You can make that happen! Not only is this a great opportunity to become a little more civically engaged, it’s is fun and exciting for the kids and volunteers who make up your PTA.

Coordinate your Proclamation Locally
- Everyone should have the chance to participate. Coordinate locally so you don’t have several requests go to the same government agency.
- Individual school site PTAs can talk to their principal and see if the PTA can be highlighted at a virtual or in person assembly.
- Council PTAs can consider asking the School Board and the city or cities in their council to recognize them during a meeting.
- District PTAs can consider asking the county/or county’s Board of Supervisors and Board of Education to recognize them during a meeting
