NMPTA can't communicate with your 2020-2021 PTA leaders if we don't know who they are! Log-in to your PTA's MemberHub site to enter the names and emails of your 2020-2021 officers and members. NMPTA is no longer using a paper Officer List to submit information as in past. Email is NMPTA's primary means of communication.
Join us at the NMPTA Virtual Convention on August 20 and 21 for additional training and MemberHub networking. Send your questions to

Benefits of Physical Activity
An overwhelming spring marked by home schooling and sheltering in place warrants an opportunity for parents and caregivers to rejuvenate their health and well-being this summer.
So let us give you a break!
Register by July 3 for our "Give Parents a (Summer) Break" campaign, featuring four weekly emails filled with activities you can do to focus on your physical and emotional health. Activities range in length from less than 15 minutes to a full afternoon, so you can add them to your routine wherever they fit.
In the first weekly message, which goes out July 6, we'll send you a handy calendar where you can mark off which activities you do.
If you send us your completed calendar by August 6, you will be entered to win prizes such as self-care gifts and more! (Stay tuned for prize details.)
Role modeling healthy behaviors also helps improve kids' physical and emotional health. We know you're probably playing camp counselor this summer, so many of the activities can include or be adapted for the kids.
Are you ready to care for yourself the way you care for healthy kids?

Considerations & Recommendations for New Mexico's Schools
The New Mexico Public Education Department is providing the following
guidance to support the state's districts, charter schools and communities in determining their plans and strategies for reopening schools in 2020-2021.
Our approach is built upon the guidance and recommendations of the New
Mexico School Reentry Task Force, New Mexico Medical Advisory Team, Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and other research. It is strongly aligned to the reopening guidelines that have been provided by our state and federal leaders. It is designed to help districts and charter schools prioritize the health and safety of students and educators as they open school buildings and deliver instruction.
Local McDonald's Owner/Operators in New Mexico are very proud to be a partner with the New Mexico PTA and look forward to participating in this August's Virtual NMPTA Convention.
