Why Join PTA?

Your Membership Makes a Difference

Dozens of studies on parental engagement show a definitive connection between family involvement and academic achievement.

While primarily working to advocate for, enhance, and enrich our scholars’ educational experience, the PTA/PTSA is a great way to increase your involvement and engagement as a family.

For the 2021-22 school year, the PTSA is going to focus on a few fundamental elements, starting with rebuilding our PTSA membership back to pre-COVID levels and finding ways to meaningfully bring our community together – to support each other and the students we love.

Your membership not only benefits our Wilder community, but also you. Here are a few benefits:

  • Get Connected – A great way to be more aware of what is happening at Wilder
  • Tap Into a Network – Share ideas, concerns and experiences with other parents and educators in the community
  • Watch Yourself Grow – By volunteering gain valuable experiences
  • Speak Up – As an advocacy organization, PTA can be an effective way to suggest change
  • See Improvement – Be a part of positive changes at Wilder, help raise funds to support building improvements and educational resources for our scholars
  • Be a Role Model – Show our children the importance we place on education
  • Resources and opportunities from Virginia PTA and National PTA
  • Member benefits and discounts from Virginia PTA and National PTA like 15% off at Great Wolf Lodge
