2021 Welcome Letter From Your Council President

Hello Northshore PTA Leaders!
 
We all know that last year was incredibly challenging, stressful and at times downright frustrating. But, the barriers COVID presented also encouraged us to think outside our comfort zones to come up with new and innovative ways to engage with and support our communities. Through it all, our Northshore PTAs have continued to be strong, flexible and tenacious. I am so proud of every single one of our PTAs for not backing down in the face of such an extreme challenge and continuing to achieve their mission of supporting every child's potential. As we step into the 2021-2022 school year, it seems that this next school year will be more of the same - challenging us once again to pivot quickly and adapt to changing circumstances that are beyond our control.
 
I want to let you know that we are always here for you. Our mission as your Northshore PTSA Council is to support the work you do at the local PTA level. We have many resources that can help you navigate the day to day PTA work, as well as the unexpected, including:

• Many position specific Facebook groups for Northshore PTA leaders to make connections and ask questions;
• Virtual roundtables so that we can share and learn from one another;
• A bi-weekly newsletter, website, Facebook and Twitter to help keep you informed;
• Trainings so you can learn how to run your non-profit and become a stronger PTA leader;
• Meetings to share information and connect you with district and community leaders;
• Grants to support your PTA’s next educational speaker or community event; and, of course;
• Personalized, one-on-one support - we’re just an email or zoom meeting away!

Our 2021-2022 Council team is ready to help you continue to do amazing things for our students, families, schools and communities.

​Wishing you a fantastic school year!
