I joined the PTA because I sincerely love our school, the teachers, and all the children who attend. I currently have a 4th grader and I also have a former Boston Bear in 6th grade at Booth.
I joined the PTA because I want school to be an interactive, safe, and fun environment that children look forward to being a part of. This is where I believe growth happens. I feel that the more positive interactions each child can have, as often as they can happen, makes a huge impact on their lives. I love coming into the school and having a child come up to me to tell me something important to them, to just say hello, give me a high five, or to ask if I would be selling ice cream that day.
I enjoy seeing them out in the community, and their excitement when they see me. I may not remember all of their names in that moment, and they probably don't know mine, but they do know I am at their school trying to be a part of making it a great experience for them. And that, that is the reason I love being a part of the PTA. It's about the children, and their families, not just my own, and our community as a whole, that makes each and every day worth it.
