The Barack Obama Elementary School Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a formal organization composed of parents, teachers and staff and our goal is to support our school, encourage parent involvement, support teachers, and organize family events.
Our PTA is part of the National Parent Teacher Association (National PTA), a non-profit formerly based in Chicago (now in Alexandria, Virginia) that was founded on February 17, 1897, with membership open to anyone who believes in its mission and purposes. Every person who joins a local PTA automatically becomes a member of both the state and National PTAs. Today membership is around 5.2 million.
