CCPTA and what does that mean???

PTA (parent/teacher association) is part of a national organization. Parkade's PTA has a board that guides the year, then Columbia Council has a board (CCPTA is Columbia Counsel Parent/Teacher Association) that helps all the Columbia Public School's PTA boards. They have been great help for Parkade's PTA. They have a web site to check out: click here to see it!
