Oregon PTA

PTA is a powerful voice for all children, a relevant resource for families and communities, and a strong advocate for the education and well-being of children.

As President @KenselLisa mentions, now is a great time to have conversations with your students about the dangers of vaping. Flavored tobacco makes it really attractive, and dangerous to kids. #vapinghurtskids #flavorshookkids

It was great to meet with @RepSalinas today to discuss how we collaborate to ensure every child reaches their full potential! #PTALegCon #advocacy

[Congresswoman Andrea Salinas @RepSalinas]

Today, I met with members of the @oregonpta to hear firsthand about how we can work together to improve the learning environment for our students and to increase youth mental health awareness.

[Oregon PTA @oregonpta]

“Nothing about us, without us.” So great to hear from our youth advocates about their advocacy journey and how we can work to support them! @NationalPTA thank you for inviting the youth panel to be here this evening and remind us why we do what we do. #PTALegCon

An inspiring visit today at the @NationalPTA Legislative Convention with @DrBiden @FLOTUS! “How can we accept that active shooter drills are a part of growing up in America?” #EnoughIsEnough #PTALegCon

[Oregon PTA @oregonpta]

Agreed! “When you send your kids to school, you shouldn’t have to worry about their safety.” @nicksuplina #PTALegcon #PTASharePower

We were honored to have the Congresswoman join us at our Convention last weekend!

[Suzanne Bonamici @RepBonamici]

Thank you to @OregonPTA for inviting me to speak with parent leaders at the annual Oregon PTA convention. Parent volunteers—as I was before running for office—are strong partners in our work to promote equitable public education for all students.

It was such a pleasure hearing from OSBA President Sonja McKenzie at our Convention!

It is essential to raise the allocated funding for the State School Fund to $10.3B so we can meet the challenges our students and schools are facing. #advocacy #stateschoolfund #waysandmeans #oregonpta

[Oregon PTA @oregonpta]

It was a full house at the Joint Ways and Means roadshow on Saturday. Oregon PTA VP of Legislation, Scott Overton, presented testimony urging the Joint Ways and Means Committee to "be bold in allocating funds this biennium, fully funding k-12 education in Oregon."

It is vital to maintain and secure professional educators and proper support staff, so that students can regain lost learning & move forward, assuring that every child meets their full potential.

[Governor Tina Kotek @GovTinaKotek]

Testified at the House Education Committee this afternoon about improving early literacy across Oregon.

Our work must be student-centered, with consistent, high-quality instruction across the state.

To get there, we need to act this session.
