Membership - Become a Lobo PTA Member TODAY!
"Lobo PTA has many opportunities for you to be involved.
To become a "member," the only requirement
is that you pay a $15.00 membership fee. There are many "members" who donate time by being involved as a Chair person or Committee member and there are those who voluntarily donate additional funds to help cover the costs of many programs provided to your child. This membership fee goes directly to the PTA to fund such programs as "Primary Music," "Meet the Masters" and much more. A portion of your money also goes to the district and national PTAs to support advocacy and education campaigns." - Lobo Elementary Membership Chair.
PTA ASSOCIATION MEETING DATES FOR 2010/11: All PTA members are encouraged to attend PTA Association meetings. To comment on the agenda or make motions at the meetings, you must be a paid member of PTA for at least 30 days prior to the meeting and submit your motion ten (10) days prior to the meeting so it will be included in the posted Agenda . If you are interested in joining PTA - you may be invited to attend one meeting, but will not be able to address the agenda or committees until your application and monies are processed and the 30 day time period has passed.
