PTA Updates: Conn PTA's Advocacy Committee wants your input on the most important issues facing Conn in 2024! In the PTA, advocacy means speaking up for the well-being of children. For example, the state PTA's legislative priorities for 2024 include parent engagement, mental health & wellness, nutrition, and funding. We invite parents and teachers to join us for a virtual discussion on Wednesday, December 13 at 8:00 p.m. to help us decide where we can make a difference.  Register for the meeting and take a pre-survey here. If you can't attend the meeting, we still want your input in the survey! Email advocacy@connpta.org with any questions.   

 

Sincerely,
