7. Active Involvement By sharing the load, we can all accomplish more. The PTA will still be the center of decision making. The committees will divide duties amongst the group in order to fit every life style. These essential elements are to ensure our campus activities are successful. Successful parent involvement ensures a successful campus yielding highly successful scholars. PTA
