What Drives Volunteer Leaders?
Antoinette Darden-Cintron, Leadership Development Coordinator
|
|
|
Does your PTA leadership team thrive and grow in an environment that nurtures each individual officer?
If there is room for improvement or even if you need to start from scratch, there is no time like the start of a new school year to foster an atmosphere that develops valuable teamwork, while doing its best to grow each member into individual leaders.
This
study looks at the driving forces that build committed leaders.
Together Everyone Achieves More!

The PARP Toolkit
Stephanie Avidon, PARP Specialist
|
|
|
Are you planning a PARP (Pick A Reading Partner) program at your school this year?
If so, check out the
PARP Toolkit.
It has a variety of programs and activities, samples and examples of past NYS PARP winners. It’s a terrific resource!
If you are not planning a PARP program this year, take a minute to look through the
PARP Toolkit and consider planning one next year. The more time you have to plan, the easier it is to run a PARP program.
Any questions, contact your Region PARP Chair or email me at
parp@nyspta.org.

Pay it Forward
Adrienne Gliha-Bell, Rural Specialist
|
|
|
Our unit did something last year for membership that worked great.
We did a membership "pay it forward."
Ever been at Starbucks and the person ahead of you in line pays for your order? So then you pay for the next person in line behind you, and so on and so on.
We did that with membership and it worked great!
Start by gifting a membership to someone and ask them to do the same thing. It just catches on and goes from there.
Once it gets going, no one wants to be the one who ends it.
We easily got 20 additional memberships this way!
