2013 Scholarship Winners

Still standing strong since 1940, Bedford High School PTSA (PTA) started its scholarship program in 2003 with one scholarship each year.

The annual November talent show in the past had been our only fund raiser until this year. Under the leadership of President Angela Mathews -- Bedford High School PTSA volunteered in the concession stands during the winter sports. This has enabled us to offer five $500 scholarships to the Class of 2013.

Congratulations to the following 2013 Bedford High School PTSA Scholarship winners!

National Response to Address Children's
Exposure to Violence

Did you know that more than half of this nation's children - estimated at 43 million - will have their lives touched by violence, crime, abuse, and psychological trauma this year? It will happen in their homes, neighborhoods, schools, playgrounds or playing fields, locker rooms, place of worship, shelters, streets, or in juvenile detention centers. The U.S. Attorney General's Task Force on Children Exposed to Violence is a must read report for every parent, guardian, and/or community stakeholder.

Honor's PTA's Past & Future

Honor PTA's Past & Future This Founder's Day - February 17, 2013
Pictured Above: PTA founders Alice McLellan White Birney, Selena Sloan Butler, and Phoebe Apperson Hearst.	Greetings PTA Leaders, On a cold day in February 1897, over 2,000 men and women gathered in Washington, DC with a growing concern for the welfare of our nation’s children. From this meeting, PTA was born. For 116 years, PTA has provided families a voice to advocate on behalf of not only their own children, but for every child in the country, regardless of who they are or where they come from. Today’s PTA—over a century later—continues the timeless mission of making every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. This commitment and dedication has become the hallmark of PTA’s vast membership. How can we as Today’s PTA continue to honor the legacy of our founders? This February begin a tradition for your local unit or council by supporting the National PTA Endowment Fund. Through the Endowment Fund, we help to ensure that the work of PTA continues for generations to come. Your gift is a chance to honor our founders and to support the work of Today’s PTA throughout this nation, in U.S. territories, and on military bases around the world. Help honor not only our founders, but the generations of volunteers who have continued to make a difference through their devotion to PTA’s mission. We are Today’s PTA, let’s help ensure that PTA remains one clear, strong voice speaking for every child for all of tomorrow’s children! Your support is vital to our continued success. Sincerely, Laura Bay National PTA Secretary-Treasurer Chair, Endowment Fund Trustees Learn more about our founders and PTA’s rich heritage by visiting PTA.org.
