NEW DEADLINE: March 15, 2023

A newsletter is a great way to exchange news and ideas to bring PTA members closer to each other, the school, the community, and all levels of PTA. Communicating information is a vital part of our personal and professional lives, and newsletters play a major role in that process. See the application for Judge's Rubric.

The volunteers across Louisiana are truly the heart of the association. Recognize and thank that special person you know who goes above and beyond for all children, the one who acts as a tireless advocate for children’s education, health, and well-being by honoring them with a Volunteer of the Year Award. This award recognizes a volunteer who has made a positive impact on the school and its children.

This award recognizes an outstanding Mentor PTA who assisted another PTA through guidance, planning ideas, monthly check-in, and leadership support.
