ECCPTA/PTSA came up with the Free Skate Community Event so it would strengthen family engagement and can easily be replicated across Florida. This event proved how powerful a simple, no cost, community partnered experience can be, drawing families who might not otherwise participate and connecting them with valuable local resources. The award’s vision is for successful, community driven ideas like this to inspire PTAs statewide, where one strong program becomes a model for many and leaves a lasting footprint on family involvement across the state. This award will be bestowed upon selected local units and/or county councils/community PTAs that originate programming that has the potential to be replicated statewide. An elementary, middle/high, and county council/community PTA will be recognized.
