Dear Santa Clara Valley PTA members and friends.
Thank you for venturing onto our website. We aren’t trying to be a secret, but we kind of are.
We started 20 years ago as a PTA unit not connected to/affiliated with a school to support Sixth District PTA and low-wealth units within Sixth District. The late Diane Foote was Sixth District President when we were chartered and she championed, encouraged and inspired us during her lifetime and still does.
During our tenure, we’ve offered numerous trainings and workshops that were open to all PTA members within Sixth District. We’ve mentored newer PTA leaders, offered grants to low-wealth PTAs in a number of areas, held book clubs, brought in speakers from the Smithsonian and on estate planning, originated resolutions that were approved at California State PTA conventions and built strong relationships among our leaders.
We have a lot to be proud of.
Please join us as we continue our journey. Membership information is here: Join SCVPTA
We hope to see you on September 23rd — we have both our association meeting and a program for you. The program is at noon and the meeting follows at 1 p.m. The program will be a presentation by SCV PTA member Wesley Hisao Higaki. Wesley will be giving an author’s talk on his book, Gaman. He researched and wrote the book to share the story of his grandfathers who were imprisoned by the Alien Enemy Control Unit during World War II. A few years ago, SCV PTA championed a Teaching Hard History resolution at the state PTA convention. This presentation might just be under that umbrella.
Please join us September 23rd. You may register

With gratitude, Marcie Brown
2026-27 SCV PTA President
