SAMPLE LETTER INVITING INDIVIDUALS TO JOIN PTA
PLEASE DELETE or replace all text in RED. This letter is easily altered to become an article in your PTA’s newsletter or on your website. It is important to list specific programs and how they benefit students at your school. This is also a wonderful place to attach a survey asking what members would like to see their PTA do and what projects they would be interested in helping with (give ideas of time commitments required).
