National PTA® is honoring advocacy efforts of the Florida PTA with its 2010 Outstanding Advocacy Awards!
Outstanding Advocacy Award recipients were chosen for their dedication, leadership and sustained efforts to positively affect child related policy, regulation and legislation.
Florida PTA is being honored for their efforts while facing proposed education budget cuts. The state PTA formed a coalition with major education groups during these efforts. Florida ranks near the bottom in the country in school funding. But Florida PTA’s initiatives created sustained advocacy and generated new-found enthusiasm for parents and local PTAs to work together for education funding for Florida children. Advocates sent more than 3,000 letters of protest to the Florida Governor and state legislators, held regular conference calls with regional and local PTA’s, developed an advocacy toolkit and held one of the largest rallies at the state Capitol steps. As a result of Florida PTA’s efforts, Florida legislators did not reduce education funding as proposed.
In May 2009, for the second consecutive year, the MOE PTA website has been chosen as the "Best PTA Website" in the large elementary school category! This award from the Duval County Council of PTAs/PTSAs has been in existence for only two years.
Our history book was also recognized, achieving 3rd place! It will be placed in the school office so everyone can see it.
Congratulations to new Honorary Lifetime Members -- Sarah Griffith and Bryan Smoker!
Last but not least, Jenifer Morgan was honored with a Special President's Achievement Award for her dedication, always going above and beyond giving of her time and talent to make a big difference to the students of MOE!
