WHY JOIN THE PTA?
Our award-winning PTA has already accomplished so many great things around the school. And we need your help to keep up the great work and to get even better-- for our kids, for our school, for our community.
The PTA steps in with volunteer-power and money to fill in the gaps. We support the needs of the whole student - physical, emotional, social and educational. We advocate for students, parents and teachers through our strong association with our parent Georgia and National PTA organizations.
How do we accomplish this? Well, it all starts with YOU, and your generous support with a PTA membership and Enrichment Fund donations. With these funds we can provide academic enrichment programs, emotional well-being programs, social events, fundraising and FUN-raising events for the whole family. We have enhanced our school through landscape improvements, new water fountains, and this year a BRAND new outside atrium courtyard classroom area.
The PTA steps in to supplement education and social experiences for the kids. We also help support kids who might need some extra help with things like school supplies. Some of the ways we supplement Northwood students is by paying for the school buses that take the kids on their field trips, making landscape improvements, and purchasing software and technology improvements. Math and Reading programs? Paid for by the PTA. The Science Guy and STEM Day? Paid for by the PTA. Kona Ice at the Year End Parties? You guess it - paid for by the PTA!

Why do I Need to be a Member and also contribute to the Enrichment Fund?
Basic Membership$10
Quite simply, Fulton County cannot fund all the unique opportunities we like to provide for the students at Northwood Elementary. Each year the PTA spends an average of $85 per student, whether it's for an educational field trip, mini grant, or school site improvement. A $10 contribution covers your cost to be a member. You can become a member AND support our enrichment fund thru different levels of membership. These are outlined below. |
Enrichment FundMemberships have rewards! There used to be a time at Northwood when the students would have fundraisers to raise money. Who has time for that? The Enrichment Fund is a "check writing campaign". Membership levels above the Basic $10 are given access to the whole school online database, accessible via the web or Membership Toolkit app. Donations of certain levels result in having your family or company name listed as a sponsor in our online school directory. |

What is a PTA?
What is PTA? Why join PTA? The number one reason to join the Parent Teacher Association is to benefit your child. In doing so, you also help your school. We share the mission of the Georgia PTA: to make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. Be a part of the #1 child advocacy organization in the United States and the network of volunteers at Northwood. Meet other parents and teachers (most of our teachers are PTA members!) who share our commitment. Show your child that you value his or her education by putting your precious time and talent to good use! Join us!
