Dear PTA Advocates of Duval County:
Getting ready for the holidays reminds me of planning for a PTA event. You work so hard and think about it day and night. Then, when the big day arrives, you have to put your hands up in the air, hope everyone is happy with the result, and know that you did your best.
I hope this festive season has you relaxing, celebrating, and making the most wonderful memories with family and friends. We’ll be here in the new year, and, with a renewed sense of purpose, we’ll forge ahead and continue to build a bridge together.
Sincerely,
Theresa Rogers
President, Duval County Council of PTAs and PTSAs

We are looking forward to seeing you in the New Year!
The next GM Meeting is on January 28, 2020.
Happy Holidays to ALL!

New DCCPTA Diversity Committee |
