JJ Daniell Middle School PTSA

Welcome to JJ Daniell's PTSA!

Your JJ Daniell PTSA welcomes you to the 2008-2009 school year. We have some exciting plans for the coming year.

This year, we've adopted the same slogan as the National PTA, everychild.onevoice.  Together we are a powerful voice for our children, a relevant resource for JJ Daniell families and the community, and a strong advocate for the education and well-being of every child. With your help, we will continue to work toward the goal of making every child's potential a reality.

Through the support and commitment of its members, JJ Daniell's PTSA is able to offer many enriching, educational and fun activities for our children. Reflections, Book Fair, online resources, dances and honor roll celebrations are just a handful of the programs we have planned for the 2008-2009 school year.

The roll of PTSA is to work for the betterment of our children - not to do fundraising. We raise money only so we can provide the programs and resources students, parents and teachers want and need. Your membership in PTSA is vital for its continued success. At just $5 per person, it's a great investment in our children. Don't wait - join your PTSA today!

PTSA Vision, Mission & Purposes

Together we are a powerful voice for children.

JJ Daniell's PTSA (Parent-Teacher-Student Association) serves as a forum where parents, teachers, administrators and students discuss ways to promote quality education, strive to expand the arts, encourage community involvement, and work for a healthy environment and safe neighborhoods.

In addition, JJ Daniell PTSA provides our youth members with the opportunity to make a difference by developing leadership skills, learning about the legislative process, increasing their self-esteem, and contributing to the school. In turn, adult members gain a new perspective for program development, as well as acquire a better understanding of the youth of today.
