Yonkers Council of PTA/PTSA Individual school PTA’s and PTSA’s join together to form the Yonkers Council which serves as forum to exchange ideas, learn new leadership techniques and benefit from the sharing of experiences. All are welcome to their meetings. Why not join the PTA at your child’s school? There are many ways to get involved, even if you don’t have much time. The PTA president can help direct you to a committee that may interest you, or you can assist with telephone calls, mailings or a special event at the school.
