Annual Meeting & Founders' Day Celebration Recap
Our Annual Meeting and Founders' Day Celebration was a great success! We were thrilled to gather at the Sharp Prebys Innovation & Education Center, where we had the opportunity to connect with so many of you. It was wonderful to celebrate our shared mission and reflect on the achievements of the past year.
During the event, we conducted essential association business and elected our new leaders for the 2025-27 Ninth District PTA Board of Directors. We also took the time to honor outstanding teachers and community members, recognizing their invaluable contributions. Additionally, we were excited to announce our grant winners, highlighting the impactful initiatives taking place within our community.
As we look ahead to the next term, we eagerly anticipate another successful Annual Meeting and Founders' Day Celebration. We invite all PTA/PTSA leaders to join us once again for this meaningful event. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to making this gathering a memorable one!
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
