Hi all! Starkey Elementary PTA has a "Share File" on its web site, which was created to help other PTAs get ideas. I believe strongly that we shouldn't re-create the wheel! What I spent HOURS creating, you can edit to fit your needs! There are a variety of files, but several for membership, so take a look if you'd like. http://teacherweb.com/FL/StarkeyElementary/PTA/apt16.aspx
The web site we use is SUPER easy and only about $40 a year, FYI.

for our classroom reward we made cupcakes and frosted them but bought different toppings the kids could add......gummy worms and nerds was the biggest hit..this is pretty cheap all we needed was 2 dozen cupcakes and our presidented donated them and each officer brought in their choice of a candy topping.. dollar stores are awesome for cheap candy treats.

By participation, I assume you mean memberships? Popcorn parties or popsicle parties are pretty cheap.

Creative ideas needed. Our PTA President wants to use one theme universally for everything that our PTA does this year. So we are doing the Reflections theme of "Together We Can." I need some creative ideas on how to get the classrooms involved. I was thinking a map of the US and assign each class a car starting on the East Coast and ending at our school. What do you think? Also, I need ideas on how to reward the class for the most participation; preferable something that doesn't cost too much $$$. Thanks.

You could register in the OMDRplus powered by Just Between Friends. Their website is http://www.justbetweenfriends.com, in this site you enter all your members and then you can use the template it comes with the program. I just printed my cards last week.

I don't know about your state website, but on ours it is listed in our leadership resources section of the website. I would look there. If not, try contacting your region directors. They should have that information for you.

Hope this helps.

Here's an idea that helps increase membership at the beginning of the school year.

Two years ago our former PTA President and I began handing out school supply gift bags during the meet & greet held the week before school starts. We scoured places like Wal-Mart and other discount stores to put together gift bags with pencils, erasers, glue, scissors, spiral notebooks, etc. Every parent who joined PTA received a gift bag of supplies (limit one per membership). Parents and the kids enjoy getting the school supply goodie bags!

This year, we spent around $250 to put together 50 gift bags of school supplies. To decrease PTA expense, contact local businesses to see if they can donate pencils, paper, etc. A local bank donated 200 pencils to us the first year, and Chick-fil-A has donated cupons for a free chicken sandwich both years.

Hello I'm new to the site, thanks to one of my dear friends from our PTA group. My child attends a wonderful school; Westview K-8 located in florida. We are starting committees and programs at our school. I am also the secretary on our board and share the responsibilities of community services. So if any ideas or advice I'm all ears. Thank you.
