PTA Nominating Committee

Research shows that a family's level of participation in its children's education has a great impact on the students' grades, attendance and attitude toward school. The more parents are involved in a child's education, the more successful the student becomes.

The Garden City PTA offers parents many opportunities to get involved. A parent can volunteer at the individual school level and on the district level. PTA is a wonderful way to meet people and be an important part of your children's education.
