CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - August 19, 2008) - As more than 55 million students head
back-to-school this season, PTA continues to be the premier resource for
today's busy parents.
Today, PTA launched its first-ever
Back-to-School Webcast so parents can pick up tips on several topics
like coping with the economy, allowances, transitioning, getting kids
active, preparing for tests, and more. The webcast is on-demand so parents
and other child caretakers can watch at their leisure with the click of
mouse.
Taped at Kozminski Elementary School on Chicago's south side, the webcast
features PTA's first-ever male, African-American national CEO, Byron
Garrett; PTA's first-ever male national president-elect, Chuck Saylors; and
PTA's national secretary/treasurer, Betsy Landers.
