Meet vendors and develop new ideas for school assemblies\, field trips\, fundraisers and a wide variety of enrichment opportunities for your students. Build on your successful programs and introduce new programs for a fresh\, new\, and exciting PTA year. \nConvention is fun! It’s fun to get away from your normal routine and spend some time in an environment bursting with enthusiasm and energy. \nGiveaways and special offers. Exhibitors offer some great giveaways\, plus there are fantastic door prizes given out at general sessions. \nValidation. PTA leaders work hard for the PTA.
