PTA is more than just a bake sale, fundraising ATM machine...
We advocate for many aspects of education, families, and children! Each year, PTA members from across the nation attend the PTA Legislative Conference LegCon, "ledge-con" for short. PTA members meet with state and national PTA representatives, attend thoughtfully curated trainings, then divide up among districts and visit with their respective Congressional representative and senators. GCS PTA Secretary Julie Ann Maxon attended this years and is looking forward to attending next year as well. For more information, write to Julie Ann at Secretary@grandcanyonschoolpta.org Or go to www.legcon.org to learn more! |

How to advocate
1. Know your Northern Arizona Representatives:
They want to hear from you. They want to know your personal story and how their issues affect their constituents. Their staffers are personable, compassionate, and friendly.
