February is PTA Founders Day. Celebrating the 100+ year history of child advocacy by PTA leaders.

After just a few months of planning and advertising, Alice McLellan Birney and Phoebe Apperson Hearst along with over 2000 others met in Washington D.C. on February 17, 1897 to attend the first convocation of the National Congress of Mothers. Their mission was to eliminate threats that endangered children. By 1917, more than 35 chartered state congresses had formed. In 1970, the National Congress of Parents and Teachers and the National Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers (founded by Selena Sloan Butler) merged to form the current National Parent Teacher Association.

We will be inviting any Reflections Art program participants who move on the the Huntington Union Council level to a luncheon to be honored at Mile Square Gold Course.
