History
The
Parent Teachers' Association was established by Mrs.
Mary Ellen Foster (first Chairperson) and other church
school parents and teachers in 1947.
The group originated from the Home Department of the Church
School. The
purpose of the P.T.A. was to serve as a liaison between
parents and the Church School.
The P.T.A. supported Church School activities and
reached out to parents of Church School students to
encourage them to join the P.T.A. and offer assistance
when need.
TheP.T.A. has always been an advocate for children. All P.T.A. events were organized to focus on our
children and support all young people. Each year on our Annual Day, all graduates of the
church are honored and given gifts. The Annual Baby Contest was originally initiated to
raise funds to send Church School students to the Empire
State Congress of Christian Education.
The P.T.A. has provided literature for parents, which contain
strategies and suggestions of how they can help their
children improve academically and develop a positive
self-image.
Today the P.T.A. is extremely proud of their Annual Holiday Book
Drive.This project has succeeded due to the church family's (and
donations of visiting friends) donations of new books or
financial donations to purchase books to give to children
in need.Our two donation sites (on alternating years) are the Auburn
Family Shelter and the Pediatric Unit of Woodhull Hospital.
The P.T.A. will
continue to initiate projects and event that will empower
and support parents and our children to excel
academically, grow spiritually and become successful
members of society.
