Come to Olympia for WSPTA Focus Day
1/12/2020 4:45 pm
As MISD PTA members, we are also part of the large Washington State PTA (WSPTA). There are opportunities to use our collective power as WSPTA members, particularly during active legislative sessions in Olympia. Focus Day is when individual members travel to Olympia for a day full of engagement around our mission. Members meet with legislators, tour the capitol, and demonstrate advocacy in action.
