    Who is the Somers PTA?

    • The Somers PTA is a volunteer, non-profit organization embracing parents, teachers and community members who care about the welfare of our children, who want to be involved and make a difference in our children’s school experience.
    • The Somers PTA represents students in Somers Elementary School (SES) and Mabelle B. Avery Middle School (MBA) and is a guest in the school system.
    • The Somers PTA is governed by by-laws and those of the Connecticut PTA and National PTA and also must follow the Somers Board of Education rules and regulations.
    • Somers PTA is nonpartisan. Under IRS regulations, nonprofits may not intervene in partisan political campaigns – it could jeopardize our nonprofit tax-exempt status.

    What are the Somers PTA Goals for the ’11-’12 school year?

    • Promote art enrichment through cultural events for students
    • Promote education through programs and events
    • Encourage membership through publicizing what we do
    • Promote healthy food choices through offering healthy snacks at PTA events
    • Increase volunteer opportunities for community, parent and family involvement
    • Show support for our teachers and schools
    • Provide opportunities to recycle
    • Promote a vibrant and informed community through efficient communications

    Is there a time commitment if I join the PTA?

    No. How much time, if any, you donate to the PTA is entirely up to you. If you don’t have time to volunteer, we still want you as a member, to keep you informed of what’s happening with the PTA and our schools.   Then you can discuss with your child the programs that the PTA helps to create whether it is a play they saw or the plants they grew.  Please keep in mind if you send in Box tops, you are helping PTA!  While we would love for all our members to be actively involved, today’s busy life schedules don’t always permit it. If you have the time and would like to volunteer, great!  There are many opportunities throughout the year.

    How is the Somers PTA funded?

    The majority of the funding for our programs and activities comes from the Spring and Fall PTA fundraisers. Without these critical fundraisers the Somers PTA wouldn’t be able to accomplish nearly as much as we do.

    Why Join?

    Research shows that children of involved parents have better school experiences, higher grades and test scores, and fewer disciplinary problems. One of the best ways parents can be involved and show their support for their children’s schools is by joining PTA.
