WHAT IS THE PTA?
HERE TO PARTNER WITH YOU IN YOUR CHILD'S SUCCESS
PTA stands for Parent Teacher Association.
Lucketts Elementary PTA is a part of the Virginia State PTA and the National PTA.
Within the Virginia State PTA we are a part of the Hunt District which includes: Clarke County, Frederick County, Loudoun County, Warren County and Winchester City.
The National PTA is more than 100 years old and is the largest child advocacy association in the United States. The PTA’s nationwide network provides parents with the forum and tools to collectively influence the decisions that affect children not only at their schools, but also throughout their districts, within their states, and across the nation.
Nationwide the PTA is comprised of more than 4 million parents, teachers, grandparents, caregivers, foster parents and other caring adults who share a commitment to:
> improving the educational success, health and safely of all children and
> the promotion of family engagement in schools
Local PTAs, like the Lucketts Elementary PTA, play an important role in creating a vibrant community of engaged parents. In addition they raise money provide building improvements, curriculum-based programs, and social events—all of which are vital to a school's success.
The Lucketts Elementary School PTA is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit association that prides itself on being:
> a powerful voice for all children,
> a relevant resource for families and communities, and
> a strong advocate for our school and community
On average, we raise - and spend $20,000 - $25,000 every year to support the students of Lucketts Elementary School. PTA money supplements county funding to pay for hands-on learning tools, assemblies, family events and basic teacher supplies.
