What is PTA?

The PTA (Parent Teacher Association), established over 100 years ago, is the largest volunteer child advocacy organization of parents, educators, students, health and welfare professionals, and community members working exclusively to improve the education and well-being of ALL children and youth at home, school and in the community. The Goal of the Fairlands Elementary PTA is to positively impact the lives of all children and families in the Fairlands community. We will do this by: supporting educational programs at school, both financially and through volunteer hours provide social opportunities for the community to come together as families to celebrate our children to communicate with our membership through our Fairlands PTA website, periodic news and events updates, and providing a student directory reaching out to our diverse cultural mix in an effort to have all students and family members feel accepted and included in the Fairlands community.

Why Should I Join PTA?

PTA membership is more important to the welfare of your child’s education than ever before.
Your membership and contribution directly enrich the educational experience your child
received at Fairlands, especially in the areas of science, reading and technology. PTA
membership gives you the right to vote at PTA meetings, ask questions and be updated on
important local school issues.

By joining the Fairlands PTA, you also join forces with nearly 1 million other parents
throughout the state of California. PTA's motto of "everychild. onevoice" is able to be
advocated on behalf of public schools, children and families. The PTA is the nation's oldest,
largest and highest profile volunteer organization working to improve the education, health
and welfare of all children and youth. The PTA also advocates at national, state and local
levels for education and family issues. The PTA is nonprofit, nonsectarian and
noncommercial. For more information about the California State PTA advocacy campaigns,
