ONE VOICE POSTCARD CAMPAIGN

MCCPTA is asking our 190 PT(S)As and nearly 44,000 members to act together in “one voice” on behalf of our students by participating in a countywide postcard campaign. To garner support from our County Council for funding for education, we ask all members to fill out a postcard and let our local elected officials know we support students and are part of one voice! Postcards were distributed at our February Delegates Assembly; additional postcards are available from the MCCPTA office which can be reached via email at office@mccpta.com.

So that the majority of our parents can participate, we have prepared instruction sheets in several major languages. Download them here and use them at your school!
