PTA
The Union Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a volunteer child advocacy association, under the umbrella of the National PTA, which provides parents and families with a powerful voice to speak on behalf of every child providing the best tools for parents to help their children become successful students.
The purpose of the Union PTA is the same as that of all PTAs:
-
To support and speak on behalf of children and youth in the schools, in the community, and before governmental bodies and other organizations that make decisions affecting children;
-
To assist parents in developing the skills they need to raise and protect their children;
-
To encourage parent and public involvement in the public schools of this nation.
At the end of each school year, the PTA presidents write a communique, sharing the achievements each chapter has had.
PTA also offers a scholarship to students. To apply, click on this link and follow the directions.
 Attention PTA officers please go to the Union Council Facebook page and 'like us' for news on upcoming events and opportunities!
Thank you,

Featured Programs
Klothes Kloset is a Union PTA program designed to benefit Union students in need of school clothes. Union High School houses the Klothes Kloset, where shopping nights are conducted once every other month. Union provides a school bus so that clothes can be taken to the school sites during the school day to meet the needs of those students who are unable to attend a shopping night. Each of the schools assists in donating clothes and helping to run the shopping nights and the traveling bus.
Catch the Dream is a PTA Council-sponsored recognition program to honor outstanding staff members. Students at each school nominate staff members who have gone above and beyond their normal duties to be entered into a monthly drawing. The winners at each site are in turn entered into a monthly district drawing to be recognized by the entire district.
Kids on the Block a program that is coordinated with Union’s drama departments, counselors, and Drug-Free Youth to raise awareness about illegal drugs and alcohol. The program involves D-FY youth visiting schools and performing puppet plays with appropriate messages at different functions and schools. Students volunteer for the skits.
