Substitute for House Resolution No. 346.
A resolution to declare May 19, 2018, as PTA Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Since its formation in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1918, the Michigan Parent Teacher Association (Michigan PTA), a chapter of the National PTA, has been a leading voice in advocacy for children and families in Michigan; and
Whereas, The Michigan PTA promotes local, regional, and state efforts that focus on the education and well-being of all children in our state by working with families, students, teachers, administrators, school boards, statewide associations, organizations, business and community leaders, the legislature, the State Board of Education, and the Michigan Department of Education to mobilize the forces of school, home, and community in order to ensure a quality education and nurturing environment for every child; and
Whereas, The Michigan PTA has been instrumental in establishing programs and services to improve children’s lives and advancing parent and family engagement. Upon its formation, the organization’s first resolution was to urge the Michigan Legislature to provide adequate health training in all schools; and
Whereas, Michigan PTA members have shown their strength, commitment and generosity in working to achieve these goals. They have been a powerful voice for all children, a resource for all parents, and a strong advocate of public education; and
Whereas, The Michigan PTA celebrates its centennial anniversary this year as it continues to work towards the mission to mobilize the forces of school, home and community in order to ensure a quality education and nurturing environment for every child; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 19, 2018, as Michigan PTA Day in the state of Michigan.
