🌈 Thank you for joining us on the Yellow Brick Road! 💛
To everyone who attended the 104th Annual South Dakota PTA Convention—we are so grateful you chose to spend your weekend with us in our very own Emerald City of learning, connection, and advocacy.
Because of YOU, the Yellow Brick Road was filled with courage, heart, and wisdom at every turn.
✨ You explored powerful sessions on family engagement, discovering new ways to strengthen the homeschool connection.🔗
✨ You dug into youth mental health, gaining tools to support the well‑being of every child.
✨ You learned strategies for college financial planning, helping families prepare for the road ahead.
✨ And you collaborated on fresh ideas, creative solutions, and new approaches to bring back to your local PTAs—ideas that will help every child in South Dakota reach their Emerald City.
Thank you for showing up with open minds, brave hearts, and a shared commitment to making our schools stronger. Your dedication is the magic behind the curtain that keeps PTA moving forward.
There’s no place like PTA—and no community like ours. 💚
Until we meet again on the Yellow Brick Road… 🌪️✨
🌈 Rapid City 2027… here we come! 💛
If you loved walking the Yellow Brick Road with us this year, we’d love to have you join the team that brings next year’s SD PTA Convention to life.
We’re gathering a group of creative, committed, and community‑minded folks to help plan the 2027 Convention in Rapid City — and there’s a place for every kind of volunteer.
✨ You can serve on a committee
✨ You can share ideas
✨ You can help with one piece or many
✨ And no… You do NOT have to be the committee chair to get involved
As Glinda would say, you’ve always had the power — and many hands truly make light work.
If you’re interested in helping shape next year’s convention, please reach out at [email protected].
Let’s build something wonderful together for South Dakota’s kids, families, and schools. 💚
