We Need Your Help!

We hope you and your family members are healthy and safe during this time. As a valuable member       of our PTA family, we wanted you to be the first to know what we've been working on over the last few months. We are so excited to tell you that we are launching a new membership campaign this summer—and         we need your help! The campaign will focus on the value of PTA and the idea that PTA is no longer            a noun, it’s a verb—an action plan working to support the success of all children. So how can you help? We want you to record a short video answering the question:                                “How do you PTA?” Your submission could be featured as part of a video that we will release                    when we launch our campaign. Instructions for recording and submitting your video are included                  at the end of this email. If you don’t want to film a video of yourself, you can still participate! Please email your answer to NationalPTA@Edelman.com. Send your submission by May 1 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. We look forward to learning how you PTA! Thank you, Your friends at National PTA How to Record and Submit Your Video Prepare We want to know “How do you PTA?” Please practice your answer. There is no wrong way to PTA but examples can include anything from                                      “At Waynewood Elementary, we PTA to raise money for art supplies and                                  science equipment” to “I advocate for stronger school safety policies” or                                         “How do we PTA? We appreciate teachers!” and “I PTA  to bring parents and                           teachers together.” Find a well-lit location, preferably with natural light, but make sure you are not                             lit from behind to avoid dark shadows. Record Record your video horizontally. In 10 seconds or less, answer “How do you PTA?” Repeat your answer three times, counting to five between each answer. Complete the video by stating your name, city, school and email address.                           Please spell out your email address. Submit Save your video file using the following naming convention “FirstName_LastName_SchoolName”. Upload your video to our PTA Dropbox Folder at https://www.dropbox.com/request/9Am8PtngK0tYNkcYD8dY. If you never have used Dropbox, you will                        need to create an account.
