  • Parent Education and Resources

    An important objective for all PTAs, including Anderson’s PTSA, is to promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, community, and place of worship.  This objective can be met by assisting parents in developing the skills they need to raise and protect their children.  To that end, this page will offer information and websites that Anderson parents and guardians may utilize as tools for raising their children.

    Please feel free to contact the 2009-10 Parent Education Chair, Julie Cowan, with ideas or suggestions.  She may be reached at 794-9389 or Jscowan@aol.com.
