Many people first join PTA because of their own children, but over time, that “why” can grow. 💛💙

After nearly 20 years in PTA, Texas PTA President-Elect Melinda Samberson’s reason now includes students who need an advocate, families who need support and policies that protect their well-being.

“Together our voices are stronger. And together, we can do more for every child.”
