As one of the lowest funded school districts not only in the county, but state and nation, our school district's success and thus student success, can be attibuted to the support and dedication of our 43 school PTAs.  Our PTAs work tirelessly raising funds to support educational programs, art, music, and community-building events.  The volunteer leaders that coordinate these efforts are often behind the scenes and don't get the recognition or thanks they deserve. This is why IUCPTA puts on this appreciation celebration to thank and spotlight all the amazing work they do for schools.  This is a unique event and the only time all the leaders of every school gather and meet in one place. These are community leaders who are the most influential and well-connected in the district.  Sponsors have an opportunity to gain targeted recognition at this reception and appreciation event.
