Whether it is organizing a school meeting to discuss classes for students with special needs, participating in the Texas PTA Rally Day, meeting with Texas State Legislators, or calling a member of Congress to talk about the federal budget, PTA members are making a difference for children and families in their communities and across the country. After 120 years, at its core, PTA advocacy is still about speaking for every child with one voice.

Join us for the first in a series of three webinars in preparation for Rally Day 2025. In this session learn how to:

• Plan ahead
• Get support from your ISD and community
• Handle logistics (transportation, lodging, meals)
• Create a sample schedule
• Make the most out of the legislative (adult) and student caucuses

Make copies, put together packets, and enjoy getting to know other parents and staff while you're at it!

Here's is what other parents have said about their experience in the copy room:

• "I feel joy and community when I volunteer. Knowing that I help make the day easier by simply getting copies done for our teachers so they can focus on the kiddos and go home on time, it's the least I can do!"
• "Volunteering allows me to appreciate just what the overstretched PISD West staff are going through...what a feeling I get when we get something, anything, just a teeny tiny bit off of their plate. Value Added!"
• “Being a Junior parent, it has given me a much better idea of the Senior High schedule, opportunities, and events, and to see how much our teachers really care about our kids. If you were on the fence about volunteering, even twice a month, I encourage you to do so. For me, the reward has been 10 times the effort.”
• "Both my husband and I work full time, but we committed to volunteering 2 shifts a month for each of us to stay on top of what was happening at our kids’ Senior High School. There aren’t many opportunities but COPY ROOM is a great way to help out the staff and get to know the staff and other volunteers. It’s such a team effort and the volunteer hours required are minimal and on our own time/schedule.”
