Dear PTA Member & Friend of PTA,
Thank you for all who attended our annual Legislative Day at the Capitol. The weather kept many from Eastern Idaho away (we missed you!) but those who did attend gained some fantastic insight. In the morning our main topics were nutrition as defined by the USDA & Idaho Department of Education and we also heard from a non-profit, Feed the Gap, who is doing something about it. Click on the link to get more information. The afternoon session was internet safety and we heard from a lobby group who is helping to promote the KIDS (Keep Idaho Safe) Act to help limit adult content sent to minor's electronic devices. The Attorney General's office was also present and showed us how they try to get the cyber bullies and bad people who want to harm our children. Powerful stuff....
Our mission at Idaho PTA is to
support & speak on behalf of children in the school, our c
ommunities, before governmental bodies and other organizations that
make decisions affecting children. Idaho PTA is also actively
promoting resources to parents to help develop the skills they need to raise and protect their
children and
to encourage parent and public involvement in the public schools of our state and in the
nation.
