Fall funding opportunities close on Tuesday, Oct. 13! Use the sample messaging and graphics in the State Leader Toolkit and make this a regular talking point in your meetings and communications to encourage local and district/council/region PTAs to apply. You can see all the funding opportunities available at pta.org/grants – including new Youth-Led Service Grants, Jan Harp Domene Diversity and Inclusion Awards (also available to states!), STEM+Families Science Festivals, and more. Please help your PTAs take advantage of these opportunities by promoting them!
School of Excellence enrollment closes Thursday, Oct. 15! Let us help your state PTA build a strong base of PTAs that are engaged, confident and energized to engage their communities and create change that supports all children. Here’s what a 2025-2027 School of Excellence had to say: “Leading a PTA comes with unexpected challenges, and community engagement is often the hardest to master. This program equips you with practical strategies to connect with families, keep key priorities top of mind, and lead with confidence all year long.” Promote enrollment through the deadline using the sample language and graphics in our Promotional Toolkit.

Strong schools grow from strong communities.
Community schools are built on the belief that schools are stronger when families, educators, students, community partners and local leaders work together toward a shared vision. Community schools respond to the unique strengths and needs of each school community and create the conditions for every student and family to thrive.

The Rooted in Strength: Growing Community Schools Together Conference unites people from across Colorado and beyond together to learn, connect and grow the community schools movement.

Conference attendees will learn from thought leaders and explore best practices for implementing the Community Schools strategy.

This conference is designed for anyone who believes in the power of schools and communities working together.

We look forward to seeing you there!

🎉 Colorado PTA is thrilled to welcome Time to Play as a Community Partner for the 2026–27 school year!

Time to Play helps families build stronger connections by turning each grade into a self-running playdate community—making it easier for kids to enjoy low-key hangouts, plan one-on-one playdates, and form lifelong friendships without endless back-and-forth texting.

We’re incredibly grateful for their generous partnership and shared commitment to bringing families and communities together! 💙
