The Murray Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) stands as a critical partner to our teachers and administrators, working tirelessly to cultivate a high-quality, supportive learning culture for every student in the district. In an era where public education is often stretched thin, the PTA's role transcends simple support; it acts as a vital resource, organizing essential fundraisers that provide everything from basic classroom supplies and student snacks to critical, expensive items like new technology and engaging field trips.

This hands-on, financial support is crucial, allowing our dedicated educators to move past budgetary concerns and focus their energy where it belongs: developing innovative learning strategies that help our students thrive.Dedicated PTA parents step into schools and classrooms, providing meaningful, one-on-one support—from reading with students to helping manage classroom needs. This volunteer work is essential, extending the capacity of educators to connect with and advocate for every student.

📊 Did you know? Research consistently shows that when families are involved in their children's learning both at home and at school, their children do better in school. More than 85 research studies conducted over the past 30 years prove that involved parents lead to benefits like higher grades, improved test scores, and increased attendance!

Advocating for Education

PTA members do more than just help inside the school; they actively work to shape public policy. By tracking education bills and engaging with lawmakers, they offer a unique and essential perspective from "ground zero" in public education. This advocacy ensures that the voices of engaged parents provide critical input and direction for education governance in Murray and at the state level.
