PTA Membership

Become a PTA Member!

It's a new year, and what a better way to get connected to what's happening here at Longbranch than by becoming a member of our PTA! Being a member doesn't sign you up for events in any way. It simply gives you a voice! Be a part of the decision making for your children's school sign up today! Other perks to being a member of the PTA are our FREE Members Only events. This school year we have hosted a Fall Movie Night, and Pictures with Santa Event. We will have one more FREE Members Only event this Spring, so don't miss out!! Membership to the PTA is $5, this is a once a year fee you will pay to be a member of Longbranch PTA.
