The Palo Alto PTA Council, which meets at the offices of the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD), is responsible for bridging district staff, the Board of Education, community partners and the PTAs of district schools in order to improve the education, health and welfare of children and youth. The group has many unique offerings, including a free clothing program – 'PTA Wardrobe' – for families within the school district, an art speaker series, and an art contest called 'Reflections'. The PTA Council also provides students with community service and athletics opportunities, including lacrosse, soccer and volleyball.
