I spent all of last year trying to disband the PTA at the pre-school Andrea attended.
That didn't work out so well.
...
This year I'm PTA President.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
While I won't go so far as to call PTA as a whole lame, unnecessary and pointless, I will say that having a PTA at a 1-yr pre-school is pretty ineffective. Especially if that pre-school happens to be the first introduction to the public school system for most of the parents. Who largely don't speak English. And generally don't have a clue about what's going on in the first place. And have their 4-yr olds translating for them. Which is super since, as we all know, 4-yr olds understand everything. And can relay everything with perfect accuracy.
The city of Irving has the most diverse population of all of North Texas. Clifton Pre-school (in Irving) has more than 53 nationalities represented. FIFTY-THREE.
So you can imagine how signing up parents for the PTA would be a whole lot of fun! Know what's even more fun? Meetings! Yay!
So how do I take down this organization?
One suggestion I got last year was to spike the punch at class parties, but I'd rather not go to jail. And I have a sneaky suspicion that might actually get MORE parental involvement...
Any ideas?

Good for you, Jeneatte! (Why can I not spell your name?) I absolutely love your new photos. So good. You guys look great. What a big family! That Hyrum is such a cutie. He look so grown-up!
No advice but I'm loving the new pictures! Oh and you can call my anytime! ;)
Since I homeschool, I have no PTA advice for you, but it was an interesting read. I agree with you about everything. I was actually wanting to comment on the pictures too. I love them!! I won't say how long I've been waiting for them. :) Haha. But I know how that goes. We rarely get professional portraits and I don't update mine very often either. Y'all are so cute!!! Good luck with the PTA thing. If anyone can do it, you can!
Sorry to say, no suggestions from me, either :) But I love, love, love the pics! Y'all are such a beautiful family. Miss you!!
