Last year's Annual Meeting and Founders' Day Celebration was a resounding success at our new venue!

We will be conducting business of the association as well as our elections for the 2025-27 Ninth District PTA Board of Directors. We will also be celebrating outstanding teachers and community members and announcing our grant winners. We invite all PTA/PTSA leaders to attend.

WHAT IS FOUNDERS' DAY?
The Founders' Day celebration was created in 1910 by Mrs. David O. Mears, a charter member of the National Congress of Mothers founded by Alice McLellan Birney and Phoebe Apperson Hearst in Washington, D.C., February 17, 1897.
The Founders' Day observance has continued through the change of organization names in 1925 to the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, and the uniting in 1970 with the National Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers, founded in 1926 by Selena Sloan Butler, to become the National PTA (A Brief History: Working Together for Children Since 1897). - CAPTA.ORG
