Our Forest View PTA Board of Directors believes that participation at major Washington State PTA (WSPTA) and National PTA events and activities is essential for our PTA's mission and goals. Listed below are recent WSPTA and National PTA events that members of our PTA team have participated in and/or received important trainings.
