Why join the PTA?

You help support the efforts of both the California and national PTA organizations, both of which do vital work advocating for our children at the state and national levels, respectively. Your membership entitles you to vote on how the PTA spends its money, and to perks such as Legoland discount coupons. The bulk of your dues and all additional donations go to support Sunnyside.
