Founders Day 2024 Pta Meeting. To witness the founding of the national congress of mothers (later renamed national pta). Founders’ day, february 17, is when we celebrate the legacy and work of our founders —alice mclellan birney, phoebe apperson hearst, and selena sloan butler — to improve the lives of all children and families.
Founders day is a perfect time to renew the dedication to the purposes of the pta that were defined by pta’s founders more than a century ago. Learn how national pta was founded over 125 years ago, on a winter morning in 1897, by a team of mothers with a vision to better the future of every child.
