Herndon, National PTA President. “In fulfilling this commitment to the young. PTA members have accepted the traditional responsibilities of creating and improving educational opportunities. strengthening family life, building better communities. and working for moro effective legislation to protect th<‘ rights of voting people.” With the PTA’s help, theso broad nreas of concern have Iwen translated into specific services to children — many which nre taken fur granted today ns basic necessities fur health and safety.
