Alaska PTA Convention 2008
April 17-19, 2008
Westmark Convention Center!

Our theme this year is “Charting Our Course” which means looking at where we’ve been, where we’re going, and how we’re going to get there! We want to celebrate our achievements and focus on reviewing what works and what doesn’t, prioritizing, planning ahead, and preparation for a successful future.

Thursday evening, Apr 17, is the kick-off reception. Parents, teachers, students, and community members can come out to meet our exhibitors, have a snack, and hear the opening comments. Conventioneers can then participate in the Program Roundtables to discuss a slew of important issues and learn some “best practices”.

First-time convention goers can learn all about convention at the Friday breakfast and Regions will have time to get-together in the evening.

Rooms are available for $69 at the Westmark and you can use their airport shuttle. We can help each other get around town for whatever errands you might want to run.

We’re hoping for a big turnout early Saturday morning, Apr 19, for our “Walk For Healthy Kids” to raise awareness and funds for wellness programs. Bring your friends, kids, co-workers, teachers, students, staff and your PTA/Education banners, signs, noisemakers, etc for a quick stroll around downtown.
