Cooperstown PTA Benefits the Community at Large
By ARYA PATEL
COOPERSTOWN
The Cooperstown Parent Teacher Association was established in 1954 and has been making valuable contributions to students’ lives ever since. The PTA is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that aims to help all students, from kindergarten through 12th grade.
Traditionally, the Cooperstown Central School PTA holds the annual Pancake Breakfast and Holiday Market, where different clubs and businesses can purchase a table to promote their products and causes. Some of these tables are strictly informational, but many include activities and interactive elements for all ages. For example, the CCS Quiz Team holds mini-competitions to raise awareness about the club.
The Cooperstown School District benefits greatly from the work of the PTA, which also supports various other programs, such as Student of the Month awards, 6th-grade graduation gifts, and National History Day regional registration costs, as well as science awards.
