Voting plays an important role in shaping the quality and direction of public education. Taking your child to vote can open the doors to powerful family conversations. It also helps grow the next generation of engaged voters!
Send "Voting Selfies" of you and your family to the VA PTO, and we will feature them on social media! Let's get some energy and enthusiasm for voting flowing through the VA community.
We encourage you to talk with your child(ren) about why you vote, our nation's history with voting rights, and why it’s important to you that they become future voters!
Congratulations to our Arctic Foxes whose amazing art was displayed at the Carolina Classic Fair this year!
