2024 - 2025 PTA Membership

Dear Cooper Families, Staff Members & Friends,

We hope you've had a wonderful summer thus far. We’d like to thank you so much for your support of our PTA during the last school year. We could not have accomplished everything without your support. We had a fantastic year again and we hope to have another wonderful year ahead.

As we start gearing up for the next school year, we invite you to support our PTA again by becoming a member for the 2024-2025 school year. We need your support because together we can achieve more.

You can renew your membership at our online PTA Store website at: https://jfcooperpta.memberhub.com/store

Yearly membership dues are $10 per person.

$4 of this goes towards the NJ State PTA and the National PTA, who advocate for our children within our state, nationwide, and in Washington D.C.

$6 of your dues remain in our PTA and will be used to help fund assemblies, field trips, classroom grants, and student events.

You do not need to be an active volunteer in order to be a PTA Member. Parents, grandparents, neighbors, and community members are all invited to become a part of our PTA and show their support for our children!

You do need to be a PTA member to volunteer.

The PTA board hopes to continue to help create connections within our community and make each child’s potential a reality. Thank you again for your loyalty and support!

If you have any questions about membership, please reach out to our secretary at ramona.hamill@jfcooperpta.org.

Sincerely,

Shazia Ansari
