Thirty-Second District PTA Founders’ Day

Each year in February, the Thirty-Second District PTA honors the three founders and past and present PTA leaders. Through a special event, the Thirty-Second District PTA also celebrates our annual scholarship awardees and their family and highlights the achievements, activities, projects, and goals of the PTA, our community, and our members.

“The Founders Day celebration was created in 1910 by Mrs. David O. Mears, a charter member of the National Congress of Mothers founded by Alice McLellan Birney and Phoebe Apperson Hearst in Washington, D.C., February 17, 1897. The Founders Day observance has continued through the change of organization names in 1925 to the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, and the uniting in 1970 with the National Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers, founded in 1926 by Selena Sloan Butler, to become the National PTA.” - California PTA
