Founder's Day & PTA History
Wisconsin PTA was founded on June 7, 1910, by Agnes Betts and our first president was Mrs. R J Sullivan from Milwaukee. Some of the early issues that PTA was successful in influencing were:
-
Required Kindergarten
-
Required Teacher Certification
- Literacy
- Better Movies/Movie Going Habits for Children
More than 100 years later, we are still going strong. National and Wisconsin PTA provide support and training to the WA-WM PTA Council who in turn provides support and training to local units in the West Allis-West Milwaukee school district. Visit the Wisconsin PTA and National PTA websites to find out more information how they are working to advocate all children.
Come & celebrate Founder's Day at the WA-WM PTA Council Carnival held at the West Allis Central H.S.!
