You were highly recommended for this PTA position, by many people, multiple times.
“She'll be a great PTA President,” they said.
“It's only a few hours of work a week,” they said.
You think back to PTA election season, to that time of trust and innocence and think......
We're here to remind you that you didn't go into this haphazardly. You gave it plenty of thought and ultimately decided that volunteering for the PTA was the right decision, even a great decision!

2. You're "in the know"
3. You have an impressive title and good deeds to brag to your friends about
4. You're using your skills for good
5. You're showing your child(ren) how much you value their education
6. You're making connections
7. You're experiencing the thrill of being in charge
8. You're helping the children . . . THE CHILDREN
9. You're making a difference
10. You're having fun, admit it
We could go on and on about the joys of PTA-ing. It's not always easy, but we're sure you're killin' it. If anyone disagrees, let them know you're worth every penny you're paid to do the job.
Every. Single. Penny.
