FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 

Hudson Parent Teacher Association (P.T.A.) Holds Membership Drive 

August 18, 2008 (Hudson, Ohio):  The Hudson Parent Teacher Association is conducting its membership drive for the 2008-2009 school year. The Hudson PTA is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization whose mission is child advocacy. It is affiliated with Ohio PTA and the National PTA, and studies issues that affect our children and monitors legislative issues that involve the education, health, welfare and safety of children.  

PTA works in cooperation with parents and the Hudson City School District to build bridges within the community so that effective communication occurs with the public about the Hudson schools. PTA will present a wide variety of programs this year, including a Health and Wellness Fair (October), Mock Election (November), Anti-Bullying Program (February), Science Fair (February), as well as ongoing initiatives such “Parents as Reading Partners” and “Tools for Success.” PTA also sponsors the annual Reflections Art Program (October), and awards student scholarships in the spring. 

The membership drive is PTA's sole fund raiser and all proceeds support PTA programs and scholarships.  

For its members, the Hudson PTA publishes school directories for the elementary, middle and high schools, as well as newsletters. PTA representatives will be present at Hudson City Schools' Open Houses in August and September to provide information and register members. To join the PTA and find out more about programs, please visit Hudson PTA's Website at: www.hudson-pta.org.

The Hudson PTA looks forward to continued growth as more members of the community join in advocating for our children. For information on programs for the 2008-2009 school year, please visit: www.hudson-pta.org.
