PTA: Student Advocacy Day was a hit

Students in session

The PTA - Parent Teachers Association - sponsored Student Advocacy Day was a smashing success, with the students and teachers alike.

Students from many school's throughout the Metro Atlanta School system were on hand.

Beginning at the Floyd Room, the students learned about educational issues that are currently on the legislative floor for approval or otherwise; issues that may impact them directly.

Next - see picture - they were rustled over to the Capitol building for a bird's-eye view at lawmakers in action. The purpose being to provoke student's interest in the politics that make a difference in their lives...and the lives of those to come.

Lastly, a luncheon at the Georgia Freight Depot was scheduled for a opportunity for individuals to meet and network with their legislators; as well as a means to arrange meeting to present concerns or requests.

Personally being asked very interesting questions by some students, I had a genuine opportunity to be able to see the benefit of the event.

The PTA has, again, revealed its purpose for being. We thank you Georgia PTA for your work and concern.
