Dear New Mexico PTA Leaders and Members,
As the school year gets underway, please remember we at NMPTA are here to help! Whether you are struggling to find new board members, finishing your audit, or can’t figure out MemberHub, never hesitate to reach out to us. 
 
We hope the first week of our Virtual Leadership Academy helped to answer some of those questions and helped to get your PTAs on the right track. Those recordings are still available and you can still register: https://forms.gle/cdZEskWCLY5FosJm8 

The second week of Leadership Academy begins September 13th. While the first week covered the basics of PTA, this second week of training is all about taking your PTA to the next level. These sessions will be recorded as well. If you registered for the first week you are all set for this next group of trainings. See the schedule below:

Monday, Sept 13 - 12 pm: Advocacy 101 
Monday, Sept 13 - 7 pm: National PTA Program - Reflections 
Tuesday, Sept 14 - 12 pm: Family Engagement 
Tuesday, Sept 14 - 7 pm: National PTA Programs: School of Excellence, Mental Health, Grants, and more! 
Wednesday, Sept 15 - 12 pm: Reflections (repeat) 
Wednesday, Sept 15 - 7 pm: Advocacy 101 (repeat)
Thursday, Sept 16 - 12 pm: Bylaws 101 
Thursday, Sept 16 - 7 pm: Family Engagement (repeat) 
Friday, Sept 17 - 12 pm: Open Forum. Bring your questions and concerns.

After Leadership Academy ends, we will be giving away some prizes to those that registered and attended. However, your PTA must have your audit and budget submitted, and at least your officers listed and memberships paid in MemberHub.

Are you thinking this sounds amazing but are still building your PTA board? No problem! We will be offering these two weeks of training again in October and November.  
And finally, always remember we are one PTA, advocating for every child with one voice!

Sincerely,
Stephanie Hansen
21-22 President-Elect

Why Are Kids Different at Home and at School?
Some hold it together at school, only to lose it at home. Others stress out in the classroom.
Healthy Teeth Tips
Tooth decay can cause cavities and is one of the most common conditions in children in the United States. Cavities can be painful and cause children to miss school or have problems with eating, speaking and learning. Support your child's teeth health with education and routine dental checkups.
