A Message from the President

Welcome to the Missouri PTA website.  We hope that you will find our site full of information
and resources for local leaders, parents, teachers, administrators or any child advocate.

Missouri PTA represents over 70,000 members, and is open to anyone. If you would like to support the efforts of the Missouri PTA, we encourage you to do so by joining a PTA in your local school.  We also have a statewide PTA, the Show Me PTA, that welcomes all who may not be connected to a PTA school in their community.  For more information about Show Me PTA please see this link:  Click here to view form.

Missouri PTA volunteers across the state are hard at work advocating, educating, and helping parents, teachers, and administrators. We believe that this network of support sets us apart from other parent groups.  If you would like more information on becoming a PTA please contact us at: office@mopta.org.  We are happy to assist you in learning more about our association and the activities, programs and advocacy efforts on behalf of all children, families and schools in the “show me” state.

One hundred years is an achievement few people attain in life.  It is similarly rare for institutions.  As we look back on 115 years since the founding of National PTA (www.pta.org) by Alice Birney and others, and as we look forward to our next 100 years as a state PTA, we honor that great tradition of advocacy, we celebrate our continued efforts and we imagine a brighter future for all children.

Sincerely,

Donna Petiford, President
Missouri PTA
